I find with repotting Cats that a little spag on the top section around the roots helps the plant establish quicker to the new media. I also use volcanic rock lower and styrophome. The plants do dry and drain freely.
Like it has been mentioned, the spag must be packed lightly so it airs and dries out. I find I do have to keep an eye on it as it grows and can need thining at times.
Phals enjoy the biscuit in the middle of the pot with spag, and seem to handle the spag packed a little tighter.

All my spag is soaked in a weak fertilizer mix which also helps things grow along.
