One thing I've never seen mentioned in these discussions is soil degradation.

Most of the "stratifyers" are using akadama, yes? Akadama breaks down over time, and so perhaps the larger particles at the bottom simply function to maintain better flow after degredation has begun.

Or maybe I'm just talking out my drainage hole ...
