Your thoughts on using RO water in LoDo brewing?

I know you guys are going to talk about not doing a secondary but for this subject lets go for a secondary. I understand that using fresh krausan in the secondary or for carbonating is a thing. Seems that fresh krausan in the secondary will help clean up some off flavors. So here are my thought...
