Gives you your backup while not changing the width of rifle. Have not found it to even be a problem with a 30 round in the ready.
Attached photos are of the 10 round that comes with is, 20 round, and then 30 round. Final shot is with full load.

It certainly changes other things, though.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, and no one choice is the only way to go.
Some advantages to a redi-mag over that stock:
Magazine is more quickly accessible
You get to keep your stock (stock choices are a preference, mostly)
The rifle doesn't get any taller in the back (or anywhere), even with a 20 or 30
You mentioned in your first post that "left handed shooters can reload without ever un-shouldering the weapon". That applies to a redi-mag as well. ;)
That FAB stock does have some advantages. But other choices, such as a redi-mag, are bound to be a better choice for some people.
