Hi Wilhelm,

to be honest, there's really nothing between the top few settings. They're all
pretty much on a par (Cell, Pestilence, Imperator, Berean 5.54, Milan 2.3).
You're correct about the endgame being an Achille's Heel. I too look forward to
the next version (assuming there will be one of course!)

Graham.
