That certainly seems reasonable.
I don't own, and never have used, a pressure cooker, and
don't necessarily have space for an additional item of that
size... so I'm unlikely to ever explore using one.
Tangentially I do want to add that using a heavy pot does seem to
improve bean cooking results -- it least to more even cooking.
