Thinking about this more, the last time i rode (while at Durhamtown, I love that place) i knew i was going to OJ the shit out of a small double right before a corner so i braked up the face with no clutch in, bc i just kind of last second panicked and slammed on brakes, and I somehow applied the perfect amount of rear brake, to where i didn't stall the bike and i still landed the jump perfectly. It did scare the shit out of me though, as i'v never been comfortable with the whole dragging rear brake on a face technique. So i guess what I'm getting at is, apparently i do have enough bike experience to know how much brake to apply in my subconscious, just need to get my conscious brain to shut off. I do tend to way over think things while riding.
It is so weird how the brain works sometimes haha
You need to use the clutch for other stuff though

I tried my friends fc450 with qs. It was a Spanish prototype that needed some tweaking but it worked pretty good, just a sensitivity issue (easy to touch the lever by mistake just a bit and it cuts out) and since mx-bikes are 1 cylinder it does cut out a little rougher than my cordona on my cbr (that cuts 2 and 2 cylinders a few milliseconds apart) for a smoother engagement.
Mx vise, I really don't think of it, I use it when I need to:
4 stroke only on braking if I drag rear brake. Some upshifts wfo.
2strokes only when I bog it or in the air and tapping the rear for the chicks and legswag
