Not really.
You shouldn't assume anything when all you had to do was read the post to see he's has no real reason or need for a stronger clutch spring & or Barnette conversion in the 1st place.
See below for the OP's own words.
" Hi all,
I know this sounds wired but there is no real reason i want to fit the barnett spring conversion ! "
BTW,HD's hvy dty Se clutch spring doesnt add more finger dexterity like you stated, but it is does add a tad more resistance when clutch lever is pulled all the way in when fully disengaging the clutch ,but its not bad by any means either unless maybe someone has a medical issue in their left/clutch hand.
And if someone did have a medical issue in the left clutch hand there is a very inexpensive aftermarket item they mfg that significantly reduces effort required to disengage the clutch which simply bolts right in place of the original HD clutch spring retainer when you install the new clutch spring.
So for multiple reasons thats why when i am at a stoplight with a stock or a perf clutch spring setup in a bike i rec knocking the trans into neutral just as the bike (or car/truck with man trans) is coming to a stop.
Doing that not only extends the srvc life of the clutch spring & release bearing it also reduces fatigue / strain on your left clutch hand too.

"I like these variable pressure ones as well, now i have started looking.
Not sure if these give any slip at low revs though ??"
I run the SE version VPC like this. It installs over the stock spring. Under 2000 RPM, you get stock spring pull. But over 2000 RPM, clutch spring pressure increases with RPM. It gives you the advantage of a high performance spring, while keeping an easy pull at idle.
