I'm not good enough at Ivy to contribute much information here yet. I still wanted to say thanks to you, Ring, for all the work you've put into this project (and the Ivy forum in general).
The reason they buffed CE was mostly because it was such an unattractive option compared to CS. I don't think it's overpowered now at all. It's just a viable use of meter now.
