I play my Ibanez SA160QM with 2-springs. It's a little less tense, but not too much. My Prestige RG has 3-springs and it plays a lot nicer, so a lot of it may be in how well your guitar is setup.

Is the special non recessed?

Anyway i have the Us standard and i have 2 springs on it..I had to tighten the tension screws a bit just today to get the floyd fully flush with the body as it was setup for having 9-42 but im using 9-46 so theres a bit more tension and the other strings were going slightly sharp when i dropped D with the D-Tuna..

Floating with 4 springs on all Floyded axes. 5 springs is too stiff, 3 isn´t strong enough for the strings I play (12s in standard)

I use 10-46 strings in standard tuning, and I have my Wolfgang set up for downward use of the bar only. I find that three springs works best for me.

It depends on the size of strings you are using and what your tuning at.
