I have owned two MX8s, currently shoot one of them, and have never had a spring to break, nor had a rib loosen for that matter. It is the finest O/U target gun I have ever used. Triggers are crazy good. Whether that is because it has v springs or not I don't know, it is what it is.
You don't have to have a spare trigger group to use a Perazzi. The trigger group can be dropped out and a broken spring replaced almost as fast as I type this. Under two minutes. I have seen it done more than once for demonstration purposes.
I've had trucks with front coils and rear leaves. Never wondered if one end of the truck was better than the other.
