If the implication is supposed to be that guys with higher SHBG have testosterone falling more slowly than if they had lower SHBG then I'd really like to see someone defend this line of thought. To me it seems as though SHBG influences the clearance rate of testosterone, which in turn controls the observed serum levels: higher with high SHBG, lower with low. But the rate of decline of serum levels is mainly controlled by the ester release rate, which is pretty independent of SHBG.
