HD, I think with SRO, as at KK, (and eg. 6nm spacing) a higher utilisation rate is achievable by shooting the gaps with air movements (instead of crossers!). The problem at LL is that mixed mode provides FIN and DEP IFR separation issues because the runways are just too close together for high intensity and literal parallel ops (ie. rather than staggered parallels).

(I used to love SRO when working with a decent Air Movement Planner and the challenge of 55/hour...I doubt that what we did would be allowed now...!)
