Inverted forks that big a deal?

Damn they got me! I'll take one as long as I can put 10R forks on it

Has anyone ever tested the side to side stiffness of the inverted verses standard forks. I know that when I worked on mountain bikes (even the big ass marzochhi monster), the inverted forks were stiffer front to back, but way flexier side to side. If you hold the wheel still and turn the bars you could notice a huge difference. I was just wondering if anyone has done any hands on testing of this type of stuff themselves.

Oh yeah when I talked to the rep, he said that this flex helped the front tire follow the lines in the runs and then when I talked to a friend who raced motorcross he said that he was told the same thing. It sounds like bullshit to me, but I am not an expert by far.
