Requires W-E limit of H-F. Measure one reaction relative to
another. Reduces systematic uncertainties. No need to measure singles rate.

Improved signal to noise for gammas.
Improved resolution with more space for ORRUBA.
Beam energy range better for d,pg. More n-rich beams available. Might work with less beam.
