Most pigeon shooters are carefull with their money so possibly no one has tried them yet.
I certainly havn't, i use shell decoys and a whirly now and again 
Also use a couple of poles and cradles with dead birds on

I think there is a lot to be said for some movement in your deek pattern. Back in the dark ages before whirlies were invented I used an old flapper cradle with a dead one in it and pulled on a long bit of fishing line to make it flap 
Had some good days like that, if they were passing a fair way away you could give it a few flaps just to get them to have a look. Flapping it when they were close seemed to put them off though
With all the remote control whirlies, peckers, flappers etc I think a lot of people loose sight of the most important part of decoying, Fieldcraft and observation. I used to spend as much time watching em through my binos as shooting at em (did help that I spent every school holiday and weekend on the shoot and had a smidge more time on my hands than most )
Get under a flightline with half a dozen shell deeks and top up with dead ones as you shoot them and big bags are possible. On the plus side if they do decide to shift where they are feeding you dont have a wheelbarrow full of gear to lug around
Keep it simple.
