I would say that the answer is probably "I'm lazy". :-)

I have been testing with SKR for a while, and since I haven't seen anybody else
test with it, then I just figured there was no reason to change.

If somebody can send me the R1 settings, I'll be happy to switch over on my AMD
machine at work. My home machine is using the CM 10th edition engine, so I'm
reluctant to try the R1 settings there as well.
