More seems to be the preference though. Perhaps that is because the top voltage is being more or less clamped at the breakout threshold. Further increase of Vpri is then serving simply to supply more charge, hence generally more and brighter streamers, rather than longer. The top volts measurements, when we can do them, will tell. If it turns out to be the case, then we would have confirmation that coil stored charge is just as important as topload stored charge in determining streamer capability.
