The effect of " east side heavy unbalance" on worm and ring meshing diminishes as you approach the Meridian tipping point and thus worm and ring gear slop is more likely to show up in your graph. I had the same issue with my NEQ6 (belt mod) mount, the graph would deteriourate near or just on/after Meridian. Other than tuning out worm end bearing play, and careful mesh clearance setup without binding can help, not much more can be done about it in those mount designs. Perhaps a total belt drive mount like an Avalon Linear may avoid it, but any retained gear facing system has the possibility of slop ( although spring loading the worm (like in the new CGX), are innovations designed to eliminate it). I will let you know what i find when i get my CGX setup.
