"I developed the IMS Solution because I did not want a ball bearing to reside within my engines. The ball bearing is the problem and the source of all evil. Anything else is just a band aid."
So it follows that the "IMS Solution" consists of two very expensive band aids and a cheap bearing? (Note that when I say "cheap" I am not referring to the quality but the fact that plain bearings are less expensive than ball bearings)

From everything I've read, the source of the IMS failures is inadequate lubrication of the bearing, not issues with the quality or design of the bearing itself. Aside from being expensive and unnecessary, there is a risk associated with introducing a new type of bearing that I personally wouldn't want to take.
