So because of the sodomizer, the new rig may only look good on paper?? Tell me it ain't so.
RLG is a function of AVG line BLG and is not tied to TRip Rig.
When the Lines pay more........AVG BLG is higher and thus RLG is higher.
As for Trip RIG being a Savior.......
RIGS can get very complicated. There are many types of RIGS which all each designed to protect the Pilot. They are all symbiotic in nature and are usually designed to work in concert with each other.
Changing only 1 (such as us with Trip RIG) doesn't usually help attain the desired result, as in our case.
