Thank you Matt and I'm really not trying to start an argument. Assuming the scales are separate, the "Finishing" group goes form 0 to 3.0. A rational person would consider there to be a significant difference between a 3.0 and a 1.0. I guess my point is that I find the scale on the table to be misleading. If there is minimal difference between a 3.0 and a 1.0, what is the value of having a 2.5, 2.0 and 1.5? If there is essentially no cut difference in this group, why not concentrate on the properties that make them different?

Thanks again - no problem here - it just seems odd.
