Normally I'd agree, but my problem is the sourceCollection is being set via a binding long before it gets populated, and an ArrayCollection doesn't like it when you change .source behind its back. I also don't know if there's any conditions where the implementation of ArrayCollection will replace its own .source with a new Array instance, which would definitely kill the connection to any other ArrayCollection instances.
