It's not airtime you need to worry about, it's pacing. If the trim slows the train down too much, not only will the coaster be less forceful (which can sometimes be a good thing), but it can ruin the pacing completely. Just like Inferno's helix after the second wingoverdominoes said:

I really can't see the trim ruining the ride...
How many peeps here have ridden raptor (GL)? All I can say is the trim makes no difference to the ride at all...apart from a little noise and with B&M's you won't feel a thing.
Anyway wasn't the trim going to be in a tunnel? Because we decided that the drop after the loop looks awful...

I think that the trim is a bit psychological, the noise of the trim makes you believe that the ride is worse, even though you don't feel it, much like the magnetic trims on Silver Star makes the ride seem "better" due to they do the same thing as the normal brakes but silently, even though the ride itself is the same...
But then again, some trims feels a lot more than other...

Re: "Unknown", B&M Invert for Parc Asterix
What I'm curious about is that on Krake they've clearly used eddy current breaks towards the end, in the same style as Intamin (fins on track, magnets on train). However the trims on that ride are clamps. I guess you have less control with those brakes so they were only used to slow the train down at the end.
But still, Intamin have used eddy current trim brakes along their rides so they can't be that bad, I'd like to see B&M do this to avoid that "kshhhhh" sound that breaks the heart of every enthusiast out there! haha. Although I must say, on Th13teen you can really feel those trims and they're completely silent.
