Mach5- I absolutely love this tree. I have to say that your comment about moving the apex toward the right, makes the whole story more consistent! I think moving it to the right, will make a massively positive change!
Don't be discouraged. Learn and make the most of what you have. If it doesn't work out, move on. Pioneers always question dogma and are cast out for their alternative perspective. Just ask Walter Pall, Kimura...
