You're likely right about that.  I know I had been experimenting with
both and I had to bump the limit so I could do some A/B testing with
bwi/bwn on my cards before the import.

Completely agreed.  Bumping the limit was easy, and the cost to the
system is relatively low.  If anybody wants to make this more dynamic
and/or controllable, go for it.
