Using a ZIF socket in a BOE programmer

I'd like to know if anyone has tried using a ZIF socket with a BOE. I'm planning on trying several different Stamps in my BOE. I'd prefer using a ZIF socket rather then digging the chip out of the standard socket with a screwdriver (OUCH!). My concern is the having a socket in a socket could cause changes in impedance and result in flaky behavior with the Stamp. I've included a link that has a picture of the type of ZIF I'd be using.

    I use a ZIF on my PDB without any ill effects.

    Depending on the ZIF socket you might just be able to plug it right into the regular socket and use it like that.
