I think we have to wait for Norm for a double check.

Meanwhile somehow surprised by Zen beating Halves in shoe games (provided a 1 to 12/16 spread) and after reading you calmly I?ve extracted the following based exclusively in Richard Reid?s OSR formula who evaluate potential gains based exclusively in linear estimates of Betting correlations, Playing efficiency and Insurance correlations. Here are my results: 

 

Overall System Ratings Comparison 

 

Count			1-12		1-16 

 

Halves			97.99		98.18 

 

Zen			96.65		96.58


The higher IC of the Zen count doesn?t act with enough power to fight the monster BC of Halves.

Pure math, I know, no cut card placement, so pure linear estimates in gain. Moral? Let?s wait for confirmation.

Hope this helps, anyway.
