This will certainly come in useful in just a few days when selecting our drivetrain. Thanks a bunch for saving us some major time.

Do you have any idea why the 4 CIM + 2 Mini-CIM configuration draws a similar current when pushing as the 6 CIM configuration? I seem to recall that Mini-CIMs are about 2/3 as powerful as a CIM, so it would seem to make sense if replacing 2 CIMs with 2 Mini-CIMs in this configuration, the total current drawn (at least in theory) would be reduced by about 11%.
