Great statistical work. It's a small sample size but the data is pretty neat.

Not as drastic as I had hoped, but it looks like around 5% better layer adhesion provided you increase the flow rate slightly to fit in the gaps. It essentially makes a print that's more solid in the walls.

I saw elsewhere someone doing prints with transparent filament and they were also getting optically better prints with this.

Also, there's a pull request on Orca... Not sure when it'll come out, but they're working on building it into the slicer.
