If you dilute your shot/s with water or milk to make a longer drink, when using a quad you can end up producing a stronger drink in the cup (assuming your final volume is unchanged). But you can get the same effect by making smaller drinks (by volume) using a double.
For the record I use an 18gm double rather than the stock Rancilio 14gm so the quad is closer to a triple for me. Its still not a perfect fit for my newish Silvia even with a naked pf but it will work. I also tend towards ristretto based piccolo drinks when the beans suit and I want stronger milk drinks but thats just a preference.
