Alan,
 
Maybe that was the attempt to lighten aileron forces (a failure) in the 300 series since the aileron trailing edge is 1/4 inch thick and squared off.  Oh, that's right, it does take quite a bit of force to reach that spec'ed 120 degrees/sec roll rate at 180 KIAS (note the SIZE of the aileron on the Legacy).  I can make a pitch change easily by merely pushing the PTT on the stick.  Accept it, it makes you a better pilot for when you jump back in a spam can!
