I guess I'm just not as concerned with at least attempting it. The fact that the most important aspects of the jump (the approach and takeoff) remain unchanged and you're moving to a simpler in-flight technique I don't think it would hurt trying. If you find it difficult to pick up or that it significantly hurts your performance stick with the hitch. Mike Powell switched between the hang and hitch in the middle of competitions on a couple occassions.
