I've had some bar slippage with the MCFK.. despite using tacx carbon paste. Took everything apart and put more sandy paste everywhere...but have not had a chance to retest. Bar never slipped when I was using a ritchey streem II, but slipped with my Easton EC70 AX.

I rode the mcfk only for a short while before selling it. Compared to the hyperstem I honestly couldn't tell a difference. No bar slippage on the mcfk. I wanted a lower stack so I went with the ax. I have you say the ax feels noticeably stiffer then the mcfk. Front end doesn't feel as soft. Plus aesthetically the ax system looks great with a low stack and overall smaller shape.

Reviving an old thread, but is there any light carbon stem that rivals 3T Arx 2 and Easton EC90SL?
