That's the default behavior of pneumatic tubes, yes, but with a simple string of chest-filter-chest-filter...it is possible to pull a couple items from each chest along the string, thereby distributing items much more evenly than buildcraft ever could...

not to mention that balancing how fast buildcraft wooden pipes extract items is a pain.
