I use a VT also Andrew, and I find that the upper end of your percent ranges work for me in the tenor and treble. However, I find that the bicord bass needs closer to 25% and for whatever reason - I certainly don't understand it - the monocord bass needs about 40%. I know, I've never heard of anyone using that much overpull in the low bass, but for whatever reason, if I don't, it'll come out flat. Strange.
