You have to be careful in saying that. Settings that work well in one version,
might not work well in another. There have been a few settings that have in the
past been passed on from earlier versions in the past, only to fail in later
versions.

The reason is that the default setting for CM6K, is different than the default
for CM7K. So with the new king engine I am sure that Johann will have totally
different settings for CM8K as default.
