Well, now that you ask, yes, it does matter. Although the rules will 
never be perfect or please everyone, it would be nice to at least 
attempt to make the playing field a little more level. Treating SO1R and 
SO2R the same seems to violate many people's sense of fair play.

2) Separate SO2R category. (also too simple and too logical, but really 
now, would it be *that* hard to implement?)
