The core of the method is that you align the chips on the
RBT jig.  Once you have done this, you have very little
control to correct things during flipping/transfer. I
know some people try to rotate or adjust the RBT jig
over the Spicer mount but there are limited degrees of
freedom, i.e. rotation or up/down shift.  You cannot make 
any individual chip adjustments.  Also, because the
size of the RBT and Spicer openings are similar, it is
difficult to see how are the chips aligned w/respect to 
the Spicer and not RBT mount.  So you are hoping that the
transfer method works well.  Some people have reported
problems in that respect (i.e. chips aligned in the RBT
mount but not aligned in the Spicer mount.)

The only way to assure with certainty that the chips
are mounted properly is to mount directly on the final
mount.  But, as we know, this is not easy with the Spicer
mounts.
