Freebeard-
Based on your chart, a shape with a height/length ratio of 1:4 is better than the template's ratio 1:2.5. Why then is the template only 1:2.5?

If I remember correctly, I think it has to do something with the 1:4 template being too impractical because it's so long. But I was wondering if there was another reason.
