That’s exactly what I suggest: don’t think and don’t test, just do as written in the first post :D. It should take about half an hour, and then you can continue to come up with new things.
For example, when switching from 8mm6 to 8mm6a, complaints arose that the contact occurred earlier. Although in both cases, there are 4 transitions to the opponent.
Therefore, removing 2 connections will not result in a Spider without 2 connections, but a new template, which will require testing in a similar volume.
Secondly, a template that is positioned as an improved or modified Spider will compete with the old Spider for a line in the map pools of Tournaments. With arguments, debates, comparisons of "the grass was greener before," and demands to return it to how it was.
A fundamentally new template does not have such a legacy.
