Exactly. I think we need to come up with a word that implies that it's really a balance of quality and speed. That's why I suggested BALANCED but I am hoping we can do even better than that.
As an aside, why did you decide to not expose the setting of either the AA type or number of samples? I would have though that serious graphics developers would really like to have such options available to them.
