the rubber cushions on std linkage allow the synchro to bounce to find its correct engagment ,solid links means it will smash it home even if its not lining up correctly ,causing excessive wear .
the ma gets an unfair bad reputation --its the bad drivers that cause most of the damage not the design of the g/box.
ideal system for a dog box though -as you have to feel the engagment anyway to get smooothest changes --just be careful if fitting to a std synchro box

Understand totally where you are coming from on this!
Seen a fair few people wreck boxes trying to do lightening quick changes and jamming it in on standard linkages, these must magnify the issue just like rose jointed or solid linkages! Maybe a little bit worse as there is probably a bit more leverage, but im sure if your not heavy handed with your changes you should be ok!
