My feeling on the affect of the big split is....... I feel like you’d have to turn the motor even higher to really see the influence of it...... sompared to something similar but with less split.

The thing I’d be curious about in that scenario was whether or not the big split cost any power within the “useable range”...... compared to less split.

That stuff rarely gets tested for typical bracket race combos.
Usually you’re looking for a number, and as long as the results are pretty close....... it’s “good to go”.
