Well Brad, I think the stuff for the slopes may have been based on comparative testing done when attic heads were being tested. Seems I recall seeing big roofs pretty well gutted when protected by ss heads. I certainly don't like the idea of QR on dry systems at all and I think to give the calc a bonus for using them thusly would be a really bad idea. You could use attic heads and avoid A/D altogether.
