Is anyone flying with the RV-specific metal Sensenich 70CM series prop?

How do you like it?
How restrictive do you find the 2600 RPM limitation? Is it easy to stay below or do you find yourself inadvertantly exceeding it in day-to-day operations?
The RV-4 we bought has an wood prop that's too coarse, so I need a new one. The heavier metal prop would work better for CG (moves CG forward) than a composite like Catto. But, I'm concerned about the RPM limitation. From the little flying I've done in the -4, it's rather sensitive in pitch. I'm afraid that inadvertant forward stick in cruise, like when looking at a chart, and bam! you're over the RPM limit.
Thx,
Max
