I like the softies on my 4-P's and Kiev because they raise the button above 
the collar.  It's not that the release needs to be "softer" so much as it is 
that it's just an easier motion for me to brush my finger across the button 
than to press my fingertip down into the bowl to get the click.

Having said, it took me months to get OUT of the habit of automatically 
advancing after I push the button. I first started using the softies at 
least half the frames on any given roll would be blank because they were 
triggered when I put the camera away cocked and lockless....
