The fact only Amano tanks are included is the biggest statistical 
'cardinal sin', IMHO.
With more data, preferably stratified into CO2/non CO2 or better still 
high-growth/low-growth (I don't know how you'd do that) and accounting for 
reflectors, you could probably find what the current relationship used by 
the average aquarist is (although that's not necessarily the best).

But since only WPG has stood the test of time, it seems pretty good to me.
