Miff,
I don't know what all your methods are, but I also use various sets of figures (TG, Beyer, Logic Dictates, Pacefigures, and on rare occasions Rags).
It doesn't bother me that TG figures seem to be getting faster relative to the Beyers and others. What concerns me more is when they disagree about who is actually faster.
When that happens, 9 out of 10 times it's because of wide trips being incorporated into the TG figures and not into Beyers or other methodolgy issues. That's no big deal because I can account for it.
On the rare times I can't account for it, I go back to the race and day and try to make an educated guess as to who has it right. In my opinion a lot of those instances are races where the pace was very fast or slow and they dealt with it a different way or someone split the variant and someone else didn't.
TG is not my business, but I don't think quality should concern you at all. Jerry seems almost obsessive about quality (which is a good thing for us). As long as we understand what's going into the figures (which we do), I think we will be fine.
