It is either more wear from movement (IE no screw) or from the rcshox pistons making contact.... I run 3mm limiter front and 5mm rear and the bladder lifespan is a couple months at best!

I think your missing the point! if the bladders broke after the first two days then i think there is an issue, but if it takes a month or more then at least in my eyes it is just the bladders get hard a different times, either way the bladders should not get hard and as they get hard you lose performance. a new set of bladders will work wonders in the handling department, since it is a slow process of them getting hard it not very noticeable. Just because you can run the stock pistons for 3 years and not crack a bladder doesnt mean there is not a problem, anything over 5 weeks on stock bladders yoru performance will suffer! It is a known fact that they get hard in about 3-4 weeks depending on oil used and temperatures, as it gets colder they get worse. The bladders move the same amount with or without the screw, how can they not its the same displacement of oil and shaft? Make sense
