I've not shot a springer for years, and certainly not a 'proper' one like this

I ran about 150 shots through it the other evening on a farm I know, target in the field with crap pellets.

Today I got more serious. I set up an 18 yard bench rest shoot in my garden and shot about 200 shots.

I discovered the crap pellets really were crap!
I was able to get a 10mm hole (well under a 5p) with 10 pellets using AA Diabolo Field 8.4g 4.5mm
My PCP (AA S400 MPR FT) was able to put single holes with 10 pellets

I wouldn't say the LGU was hold sensitive, but it did make a difference if you held it firmly. It's like a big dog, it goes where you make it if held firmly. My small daughter (who you will meet at the springer bash) had her first go on the LGU springer with me today. She nearly fell off the chair after the first shot Once she discovered how different it was to shoot from her PCP, she was grouping 10 shots in a 5p Think I may have her hooked on Boing guns now! Her face said it all after a good shot

So it seems the gun is going well, but less recoil is always going to be better. As you say, tread with caution with something that aint broke!
