Hi Russ
I have both styles of pods and the one with the notched legs has about a strong 1/16 of an inch up and down play. I use the one with the notched legs the most and it has never affected my shooting. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my shooting equipment and the notches have never bothered me. I will say this the notches allow adjustment in 5/8to3/4 of an inch incrimments and the smooth leged pod allows for more precision adjustment of you rifle.Hope this helps.
