Expanding & Adjusting Size Modifiers

My 2 Cents  Expanding & Adjusting Size Modifiers
Hi
Is there any chance that the Size Modifiers may be expanded/adjusted a bit?
My observations so far:

Black Powder SM
Here I see that from 1-70 turns there is a fast raising in the SM while it gets slower above 70 and has nothing above 220 turns. Now I think it should be the opposite or at least neutral because usually the longer a scenario is the bigger it is.
For example playing 10x a 20 turn scenario and gaining a major victory in each will yield more than double the points I can get when doing a single 200 turn scenario, also that 200 turn scenario still take much more time despite the overall same amount of turns played compared to the 10x 20 turn scenarios.
I would rather try to make an approach like with the TOAW SM were a "complexity" is calculated based on turns and scenario size in KB.


TOAW SM
Seems good but again couldn't we expand beyond a max SM of 10 to also cover real big & long scenarios?


Steel Panthers SM
Not sure about this one as there are only 2 SMs, I wonder if that is appropriate for the various types of engagements.


Tiller Operational Campaigns SM
Here we see already that SM is related to a combination of turns & scenario size but both should be expanded to cover real big scenarios, in the past it has been enough but the more modern titles of John Tiller sometimes have such big scenarios in them that the SM for them is awfully small.
For example the France '14 has the scenario #Grand_Campaign_F14-A.scn that is 698KB in size so miles above the open 90KB limit.


I'm not on the other ladders so maybe others can post something in regard to the SM for there games too.
