I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but I will say that kicker is a more layman-friendly term...Like to me it's makes sense because I can visualize what it's doing and why we need it to not do that/do much less of it.
Do you have a side by side of this with the 6z Euro? (Trying to see if those features you pointed out trended better and I don't have the pretty maps, lol)
