Hi,
This is a good question. It comes down to one thing only: technique. If you have a good solid technique, you can play Stevens grip at extremely loud levels. I use the grip for Xenakis' PSAPPHA or REBONDS A, as well as in chamber music and concerto situation. Leigh Stevens M.O.M. illustrates this to perfection. But this goes to crossed grips. Great vibes players like Burton, Mainieri, Samuels, etc, have great sounds due to effective technique, not to force. Its all about physics.
All best and good luck,
P
