I've been testing this a lot, and it's a neat and easy solution, and more importantly performs well. How viable it is when hull-valves come into play remains to be seen. I'd be interested to hear tester's views on this aspect?
For now, I'd advise moving to close the forward MBT valve at 9m3 rather than ten, as I find myself at typical trim values, having to slightly blow the MBT's in order for the boat to maintain 18kts. Not that am I ever thrilled to be asked to do it.
Thanks to all who contributed!
