My concern with any modification of the original design is that the load it being carried from the wheels through the bogie arms to the airspring. In the modified (4bag/Qbag) design, the stoutness of the bogie arm inevitably gets reduced to much thinner material that is bolted in place.

I am not an engineer, but I do know that any design is only as good as the weakest part. I have a hard time understanding how the components of the modified systems are as strong as the simple bogie and airspring. Perhaps the load analysis proves it's more than adequate, but just eyeballing it, it still looks like it needs to be as stout as the bogie arm.
