Hi Maxiumus
I'd possibly question increased cocking effort.
My 280 pro with a full length barrel could be cocked by a small child. Effortless, though has had a bit of work to smooth things out.
I think the stroke issue is that the 280 is running near optimum where the 34 being made for higher powers is overspecced and will have a lazier cycle.
Having said that, none of my 3 280's lack power in any respect. And they are all .177. When set up correctly, the 280 needs careful attention to keep safely under sub 12
