Solidsteel 5.5 rack: To fill, or not to fill?

I have read some conflicting comments regarding the filling of audio racks to dampen vibration, and now I'm a bit confused (believe me, it doesn't take much).

Opinions, recommendations?

FYI: The rack sits on a parquet wood floor which covers cement. All of my components sit on Vibra-pods, but amp is on Starsound Audiopoints.

Star sound Micro-Fill. Because the steel beads are uniform in shape, they'll compact more allowing the stand to only be half filled.
I have them in my GPA stand and ampstand.

Dante,

Symposium Svelte shelves(or Ultra's for source equipment)would be ideal in this rack(since the individual shelves are isolated with the cones)along with Grand Prix Audio Apex feet w/Ntrile balls(there's a pair for sale on this site). You'd have a good looking and first-rate sturdy platform for your components.
