From there you can work out final framing, whether to do SII, and also get a guide as to whether you need more time for the channels you are going to use. It's 30 min well spent at the start of a project.
That's good advice Barry, some objects are low in O3 as well - best to check like you suggested.

Personally, I've pushed my EQ6 to 25 min subs, and they're still sharp, but it's gut wrenching when a satellite stuffs up the sub. - I'm more of a 15-20 min guy now.
