I believe Junior will get crushed.  Remember that a "ply" to junior is not
the same as a ply to everyone else.  6 plies to junior should compare to 3
normal plies for most programs...  That would lead to trouble...

I don't think it will have a chance.  It will be doing (vs say fritz) about
1/2 the depth.  That is too big a handicap...
