I've also been playing with an old Jupiter Avi, but I'm finding it a bit more of a challenge to get improved results

I think it's a mistake to assume that ALL avi's will automatically have a better result just by processing it in R4.
In fact, over the last 2 months of beta testing R4, in some cases (of lunar avi's) i've gone back to single alignment points because R4 stuffed up on joins etc.
A lot of my lunar images have been the result of some areas with MAP processing, combined with other areas of single alignment point, or another run through with only 2 or 3 alignment point on particular areas of the frame where it goes out of the field, etc.
MAP processing can/will be beneficial for some planetary images, especially at long focal lengths where the image scale is large, but on smaller image scales it's not going to add any real benefit when you can encompass most of the whole object in a smallish (eg: 128px) alignment box.
I believe the real benefit in MAP processing will come with lunar and solar images, where the object literally fills the 640x480 frame, or in large Saturn or Jupiter images.
