Another thing to consider, even though I use Xcross quite a bit (my last hard data I was at 28% but I use it a good bit more often after RWC so I think I might be close or around 33% by now), is that sometimes the Xcross is so hard I wouldn't even dream of trying it. If orienting edges like this is indeed roughly the same difficulty as Xcross, then you would need a backup plan for when that strategy is too difficult. Obviously my back is just cross and 4 pairs. I wonder how you would handle a 10 edges flipped where the edges are in an 8 move state away from solved case? Perhaps this strategy would work, like Xcross, only for the easy/medium cases? Or if it is indeed easier and can be done all the time then that would solve this whole problem. Just trying to think out loud, I think it is a good idea, but I think we need to refine it a bit too.
