I'm not comfortable recommending anything less than the 'Template'.And I do believe that anything 'below' it is risking separation which is antithetical to streamlining.Again,I'm leaning on Hucho's words.
Sorry for the long answer,but the question merits the distance.
Phil, would you please give me a reference to the appropriate section in Hucho's book. I haven't been able to find it, though I have little doubt that it is somewhere in that vast book
