The deep stops are important to break up the long delta-P's. On a bounce dive, the delta-P between the bottom and the first "required" stop is greatest on the bounce dives, because the initial "required" stop is shallow. If indeed, the bubbles are behind the value of the deep stops, then the bounce dives (especially repetative bounce dives) are the profiles that stand to benefit the most from deep stops - moreso than the near saturation dives.
