To some extent shadow swings can turn a contra into a forced "random" mixer where you swing with an unexpected "partner" (shadow) every time. They have some of the same disadvantages as mixers.
Surely the objection to mixers (in The States) is that you don't get to swing your original partner every time through the dance. In most mixers you wouldn't swing the same shadow every time - if you did I'd change the starting format so that the person you swing is actually the one you asked to dance.
