have no inclination to impeed progress, by all means gather away
but let me share the results of testing ~150 fans to date

fan specs are not a reliable means of fan selection
i.e. similarly speced fans perform differently - with no post facto means of identifying the critical spec (w/o statistical analysis)
I have seen up to 10% differences, which is ok as these kind of appraisals probably have an error of 15%

the long and the short of it is that testing is going to be your guide
bobkoure has good data
