SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation Feet

I like to have these feet around to play with on various speakers/subs and I even put them under an AV cabinet. I just bought two new sets and noticed they’re SIGNIFICANTLY stiffer or "harder" than previous versions. Older ones are more "squishy". Has anyone else noticed this? It kinda shows me there was zero thought or engineering to them except to make something rubbery and bouncy and charge a bunch of $ for it.

Are these $48/4 feet at Amazon?  This can’t be right.

Yes that's correct.  $49.99 on SVS's website.

Well maybe they improved it.i try a bunch of these years ago, and they were kind of bouncy.  I tried them under my heavy  Tannoy speakers,  but they rocked too much. They worked great under my heavy Kenwood turntable however as good replacement for the feet.

I’m not worried about rocking as most of the way more expensive versions from IsoAcoustics and Townshend Seismic Podiums rock alot as well. I guess theoretically the more rocking the more isolation is being able to be acheived.

For isolation feet, I expect there to be a general preferred "squishiness" and would expect SVS to have offered a product that met those expectations. Well they changed drastically so did their opinion as to the appropriate amount of firmness change? Or is this a total afterthought for them and they take whatever their distributor sends them and called it a day? I suspect the latter.
