Hi Jindrich,
I have the advantage that my first set as an adult was the RIS. This comes
with studded and studless beams. I started out using both, so the whole
studless beam issues is not an issue for me.
I've made a *lot* of MOCs with studless beams. In fact I tend to use studless
beams unless I don't have one the right length, or there is a reason to have the
studs. I'm almost a done with a pneumatic hexapod. It is totally studless
except for two beams. My hexapod is not uploaded yet, but many of my previous
MOCs are visible at http://www.kclague.net and on brickshelf (kclague).

You can try this, but I think it will have no effect.
