For example, under the 'new' reduced system I've had to bypass edges that I used to consider "mandatory" for edges that I REALLY REALLY wanted - and it makes a difference. I think you went in the right direction by increasing the value on edges (by decreasing edge point totals). However, won't 'rolling' some of these in just lessen the value of edges again in essence? Since really we'd have the 'mandatory' ones by default?
