I say, if your kolb has no bad habits you are fine, however,
I purchased a used Firestar 2 that had a few quirks.
The elevator would go completly away 5mph above stall, 44mph ias, just a stick in a bowl of mush. Also had a bad habit of dropping a wing at stall and not always the same one either. The previous owner said 50 is nifty and would keep me out of trouble and that was true.
I installed Mr Harts VG's at 9" back in the valleys and some under the tail. Now I have a brand new pussycat of a Kolb. I would let my wife fly this sweet bird without a qualm, but so far she has declined.
Stalls at 40mph with no wing drop and the alierions alone will hold them level through the stall. The elevator is solid through out the stall.
I am very pleased, slow flight is no work at all.

And if I were you, I would also gap seal the elevators to the horizontal stabs. Easy and can only help.
