I think that we need to see how SX's will work after the Since Last Run druid is fixed before proposing more improvements. If I understand correctly, there is an unresolved issue preventing nightly builds, so it will be difficult to test anything right now anyway.
As for balancing SX's, I often resort to entering each value on both sides, using plus [or minus] signs instead of summing multiple values. A long time ago I submitted a feature request to provide the ability to manually enter a SX. I think that would help in some cases.
