By the way, to throw a spanner in the works of the whole merits of 16% vs 17% discussion... My current AR race uses a 13% PGR.

Thanks heaps to you both. Yes, in reading the AR posts I have the impression that AR doesn't need the higher growth rate, but I'm working on a fractured race (ended up going with CE and 16% growth, no LSP in this instance - although I didn't think it would do well when I could only get to En6/Con3 by 2410). It seems to have come in just short of a monster with 1/25 divisor and against 3 AIs so I'm not unhappy with it (I don't want to hear about how AIs actually help. I'm not listening. lalala) ... other than I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work in a real game  (I had an interesting variant with En8 in 2410 that had first useful gates up by yr 12, which I actually think could work with a different PRT)
Now I'm just practicing having NO ISB and NO ARM (and 17% growth with no LSP) to see if I can make it work. (Its not working well - I seem to rely quite heavily on spacedocks (with their small manufacturing and refuelling) with gates rather than orbitals with gates.) 
But my conclusion so far is that AR is a REALLY interesting race to play around with. 
Edit: was En6 @ yr 10, not En9. Jeez.
