I agree that it is not the sqame but it is very similiar and if you use 2
options then the second line is the next best.

I know that the program waste time also on the best move by their evaluation
when it is better to have also an option not to do it but I prefer to use a new
program with 2 options and not an old program with next best because the quality
of the software is more important than the fact that the program is using less
time by not calculating the irrelvant 'best' move.
