I think he is just saying that the transition from the starting tone to the whole tone up is not as gradual and slow as is optimuim. That some benders have the ability to bend in slow smooth linear glissando and other seem to "snap" to pitch more quickly. I have a tamara string drop that, if you set it for big drops is a little like that. Because of a kink in it's locking motion the last big of frequency travel is quick. To be clear i am talking about the String drop, not the Timara bender and in my case it is because i have it set on the low E to jump more than a whole tone. I don't mean this as a slam on the product which is fine indeed. I am only using it as an example to illustrate my how i interpret Silvertone's message... anyway cost dictates that the Hippo is prolly how i will go and i just scored a Wilkinson dual loader plat in anticipation of getting hippy. It is all i can afford. The Timara benders look neat, but that might be more getus than i can spend and on something i am not sure i am going to like.
