Anybody using either of these 209 conversion kits that use small rifle or pistol primers?

I'm kind of a if it's not broke don't fix it guy, but I do realize that sometimes things can be improved even though they're not broke. These guys are saying the 209 ignition system really is broke in a sense. I understand that they're trying to market a product but if there's any truth to what they're claiming maybe a less powerful primer would be better. Basically what they're saying is besides being a very dirty primer that the 209 primer has so much energy that it actually lifts the bullet off of the powder charge prior to igniting the powder charge & that results in poor accuracy. All my 209 fired muzzleloader have been pretty darn accurate. My Black Diamond XR holds 1/2" groups at 100yds all day long. The cleaner aspect of it seems like a plus but the thing that bothers me is all the handloader guys tell me that neither the small rifle or the small pistol primers are waterproof as the 209 primers are. I don't know about where you guys hunt but here in N central IN, muzzleloader season is hardly ever a fair weather event. Just curious to any experiences with these products.
