Good post UB.

I used to be a big believer in Bell Curves, but thanks to advice from iirc Angry Pixie & other reading etc, not so much these days - provided the chi-test looks ok with a good sized sample that's probably good enough.

Another approach that may help is to drop the top & bottom 10% of SP's from results & see how it holds up.
