i couldn't get it into 10bit without compromising 10bit.

in theory... *sigh* one of the operations (further down the priority such as
nor) could be taken off the list in 10bit mode:

    if Cmajor.minor = ABC:
        if 10bit:
             OP = MR
        else:
             OP = NOR

which is...  bleugh to say the least but the idea is, as jacob said, to
prioritise by way of statistical analysis.
