Thanks to Mike Ossipoff and Jurij Toplak for their very helpful comments about range voting. I asked about it a couple of weeks ago. Unless someone would like to challenge Mike's favorable comments, I'm planning to include range voting as one of the major alternatives to plurality voting and IRV (in addition to Condorcet and Approval) that need to be given serious consideration by election reform advocates.
