Well, I kinda don't think spread scores should really "count" for files that are clearly meant as fast pad charts. I'd rather see someone like Etienne or Vertex (rip) wreck 300bpm padstream with index than see someone like Staiain blast through the chart without difficulty - and I'd rather consider the index score the real record, with the spread score being an "oh yeah, also..." thing.

Same idea with playing xmod charts on cmod, the real best scores should be xmodded, and a cmod score is just for fun, or because you want to see what you'd get.
