Yah, it makes more sense now, as yours (and motrin's) looks more like a butterfly AND is a stronger formation. The top is exactly like my preferred 4-5-1V. And at the bottom one D is swapped for a winged DM and DMC is shifted off to the wing.

Before I read your explanation, I was going to counter 3N-4-3 with a 3N-5-2V. But given that STs are once again useless this season, I could see trying out the butterfly for the first time ever. Like you, I don't often have the luxury of DML and DMR. Am I sure of my defense? No, but on paper they are higher Q than the opposition's attack. Not that that means much. Worked out for motrin in his first example (6:0), though we don't know about his relative Q.

What orders would go with that matchup, motrin? I have 1.5 quality points on the opposition -- not that that has counted for much so far this season. Playing away.
