So for my Enya mounted in the upright (or inverted) position I would aim for 65% if wolfram addition is to be made. Mounted sideways I would aim for 60%, not that it matters much in practical terms. Never measured the exact b.f. in the Saito.82 in post #107, just established that it was still “underbalanced” with reference to 65%.
