Of course, only empirical testing will provide an answer WRT the PIK20D,
however, positive results were achieved in the Dick Johnson Ventus 2 flight

Good sealing generally yields good results.

With the S seals would there be an advantage to have the external Mylar's?

"S" seals are possible and I've replaced them in a PIK, just make the

seals
long enough to allow side movement when refitting to hinge pins,

probably
do
not require "S" seals if Mylar's are fitted top and bottom
