I noticed, I have buffpacks ranging from 917-934 and it only extends each stat ranging from 2500-2560 with duration of 3 hours and 40 minutes. I have surveyed a few people about what their preference for buffpacks is and this is the response I got....
8/10 Docs prefer more charges over effectiveness cuz a measly 50-60 points doesnt really make a difference. It just looks good when you advertise but its a very meager difference. They would rather get 10 more charges on each buffpack than a meager 50-60+ on their buff power with only 20 charges.
11/13 consumers prefer the duration over the power. They would rather have a longer duration in their buffs for just 2300 in buff power than a 2500+ power buff that would last only 2 hours.
********* 2500+ buff power includes wearing a +25 medic clothing and consuming bivoli ************

I would agree to both of those points
the only issue is, we have easy control over the power/charges of our buffs by what subcomponents we use and so forth. Duration is pretty much 100% dictated by how good the Decay Resistance is on our gas and meat, and is tied into the same experimentation line as the power, so its not very easy to manipulate specifically.

I agree.
As for trying to experiment power vs duration. It only comes into play when your looking at your resource choices. Give up a bit of PE to gain DR is almost always the way to go with avian(IMO). The bad news is that most of the time we simply dont have a choice.
If you have to buy your bovili then it is rarely cost effective to use it when buffing for cash. Most people will not pay the extra cr for the extra power.
