Deep staging is the same difference between S/C S/G and SST. Why does SST have a .500 tree and S/C, S/G have a .400 tree? It's because the weight of the cars which in turn is the same as deep staging the SST car on a .400 tree. The only reason for the "pre" stage bulb is to let the driver know he's close to the starting line. Take out the pre stage beam and the question of deep wouldn't even come into conversation.
People who race should know what the purpose of the lights are used for then the term deep would be a mood point.
Deep should be allowed in any category and through out courtesy staging. If you go deep, just get in before the other racer and let him take his time. The other racer has 7 seconds to stage after he lights his first bulb, that's plenty of time to clear engine and all the other reasons not to get in.
