For the record, I too like the Kadee slack action and also find the caboose "bobbing" a distraction. Reading Dick's post a few years ago, I began adding his fix to my caboose fleet, which is predominantly brass, and am very happy with the result.
IMHO, if you are going to have some fun with mid train and rear end locomotives as helpers, you need the slack to 1) Have some idea where the "push/pull" point is, and 2) To keep from tearing the train apart when you start it...
