What I see is David's numbers being in a range similar to mine 
in practice. My point was (is) that a CC board is pretty 
critical of downbearing differences, where an RC&S board is 
not. Back scale must still be factored in, and the shorter the 
back scale the more critical the bearing becomes in any 
system. In general, with good long back scales, the tonal 
differences between relatively light, and relatively heavy 
bearing will be far more dramatic in a CC board and maybe 
discernible at all on an RC&S if you squint just right.
