Too busy to get in a long conversation about this, but a few years ago we took a look at doing pace figures, mostly because a lot of people wanted us to. The issues you raised (variable run-ups, rating) were some of the reasons we decided not to. Even aside from that, you have to wonder how meaningful pace figures are that don't use weight, wind, or ground loss, and the lengths behind at points of call used to be estimated by the chart caller (don't know if they still are). We concluded that we could probably make some that were better than anyone else's, but not accurate/meaningful enough to put our name on.
