In my current usage I want to be able to see the distribution across all states. If there were a hundred maybe its time to be annoyed and only focus on the top 5 but with only 7 for me its not so bad. There is still enough room on the screen. I like to also see that I'm touching all available P and C states. I use this in lieu of specific state forcing tests. Call it a randomized test of dynamic transitions.
