OK, after seeing some booming punts in the pre-season (89+ yards!!), I took one of my best punters on a bad team and filled him with Leg of Steel and the Big Heart one. Firstly, he has not had that many punts from inside the 20 (12 of 96) , so even on a bad team, Leg of Steel just doesn't have the chance to trigger much. Secondly, I've noticed very little increase in distance when punting from inside the 20. He's averaged about 42 yards from inside the 20 vs. 39 yards/punt overall. That's about 4 extra yards per punt when you would expect about 7 or 8 extra yards per punt. One explanation for this difference could be that when he is punting from inside the 20, he's punting a lot more in the game and his stamina may be down. But I'm not sure this explains much.
Just my experiences with one punter.
Overall, Leg of Steel seems to be a very useless VA. Hoping for another reset.
