Actually, my info suggests Plungers have no bonus whatsoever on
Decise, however, It's my personal opinion that the Defense will come sooner
than 6, proabbly 3 or 4
        Other than that, I'd say you are in the ball bark

Waste are a style I've never really gotten into running, but It's my
opinion that there Riposte will be worse than this, and I supect the small
size will result in an Initiative NEX of 4 or 5 instead

Relating this to above, I find that the TPs defense to be worse than
the PL, but, this figure I think would be accurate.

Sorry can't really add anything further here.  It's my opinion that
ABs are not affected in teh Parry and Def areas, but rather seem to have
huge penalties in Dec, Init and Riposte.

Actually as a PR, I don't think he would get any experts on his
rollup (well maybe Riposte, but the 15 wit is the reason), but he would  be
very close.

My personal preference would be for the Plunger, followed by P-Strike, then
the Waste
