Odin,

The only problem I see with this is the isolated results. With one marker's beginning and ending results, the overall data could be skewed. Now, granted, scientific tests should isolate all possible other variables save the one you're testing, it sounds like you need a more general approach to what other users can expect when/if they polish their markers. This re-introduces the variable of different markers.

It's well known that different markers (even of the same model) can have wildly different performance statistics. Different operating PSI, gas consumption, consistency, etc. This is due to hundreds of different variables that are not controlled by the end users (i.e., US).

My suggestion is to gather as many test subjects and each have the same questions answered and photographed. Given the wide base of players this sort of thing is aimed at, you'd need a more general/averaged result group.
