Since you can no longer stack etc, and the whole reason for 49Fill Vercupti pre-cu being that you could stack them, do you guys still worry about this anymore? Low Fill ok, but using the best to get that magical 49/50?
Any advice..

Not as important since you can't take 2 anymore but I, for one, still use the same templates for most of my foods and drinksas most chefs on my server do. It was good then and still is today. Reason being, it is easier to put combinations together if there is a common filling on most foods. One chef might not sell a particular item but another will and if everyone uses a similar approach, it just makes things easier. Don't get me wrong, someproducts can be altered and customers will buy them, but when people get used to things being a certain way like vasarian brandy, breath of heaven, and vagnarian canape, it is hard to alter them and not have some questions as to their effectiveness. I say make both, 50 fill and then some with all the points put into nutrition or duration, and then you will see the true winner. They both will sell but the original should edge out the 67 filling one just because old habits are hard to break.

Yeah i totally agree. 50 Fill maybe was, but i think still is a pinacle point of a chef, to attcheive the gloryous 50 fill.
Nice idea, i make both and wait see!

I think that it's probably not as important, but it's still useful.
With foods not stacking, the "filling vs. duration" test is a little more useful. Filling digests at the rate of 3.3 units per minute. If 30 minutes* Filling / 100 >= duration, then you can keep the food going with a constant buff (as soon as the food wears off you can pop another with no long-term increase of your filling bar).
To figure out where your experimentation points are most effective, you can determine how much benefit you get from a single point in each category.
Filling: 1 experimentation point = 1.8 filling reduction = about 30s to digest out
Duration: 1 point = 25s increase in duration = about 1.4 filling digests out
The relative benefit of a point spent in filling or duration is pretty close. Given that lower filling means a customer can eat more of another food to get a non-stat buff (vegeparsine, synthsteak, pikatta pie, etc), I think that filling wins out overall. Although hitting that "magic" 50 fill isn't quite as important, you can probably get by with 51 or 52, depending on how much room the customer needs and how he/she handles their eating.
