    I agree with the 11' rl...what does the cat cut accomplish? Does it do the same thing as cat cut edges?

    Yup! It puts "spring" in the ridge line keeping the center taught.

    in my opinion the cat cut edges are more important... but a cat cut ridge is nice too. The only downer with a cat cut ridgeline is that it is lower in the center than the ends... not really a big deal.
