It is only at the highest gains that the stacked well depth begins to drop off, but even then, a choice could be made on the basis that a bit of performance could be given up in return for the advantages of very short subs. ie, choose whatever subs length you think appropriate (for resolution, tracking, data processing load or whatever) and then select right gain to get the best possible performance - it really is a very flexible camera.
