It all depends on the spring but I would guess the 2 springs on the 300 allow for a slower rate of opening. Looks like another tuning option. Twowheels - no pressure but since you are a dealer seems you could give it a try and report back I can tell you that the little I did ride my 250 it makes my 250 SX feel mellow in the midrange. The SX is still quite a bit stronger way on top (Rarely usable). Not saying the Beta is peaky but just a lot of power quick. I'm going to love it in the sand. The two springs may be quite useful on a 250 to slow the rate of rev. for slick conditions.

When I went in to the max the power was very abrupt off idle and then it seemed with increased rpm the PV would overcome the spring all at once, hence the "hit". When I turn it out to flush or maybe a little beyond, I guess the PV is a little open at low rpm, taking away a little bottom and the abrupt power then power builds quicker but more linear. This in combination with an auto clutch makes for a very smooth bike.
I am obviously the only one with this opinion, but I am more likely to try things for myself than just go by what I read, and this set up works for me, but everyone is different.
