Default Run What You Brung!

If a league allows 4.0, then in my opinion it should be 4.0 no matter how you get there, boiling, roasting, frying, adding tape, adding magnets, bubble gum, etc...

If you need to, turn some dudes in your league on to some bases that can be boiled, teach them how to boil, teach them how to tweak. Whenever I pick up a hobby I have a desire to learn it from top to bottom and achieve success through my own sweat and hard work.

I raced dirtbikes as a kid and teenager, I wanted to learn how set up my own suspension, how to build and tune my own motors, so I did, I got waxed for quite a while as I learned, but once I got my skill set, I was doing the waxing. Same in MF, when I returned I was soaking up all the knowledge I could, I still am after three years, steady building my skills. If one dude boils better then another, OK, some dudes tweak better than others too.

It seems to be availability of bases that can be boiled, not everybody has access or can pay for them Then you allow 4.0 in your league and you know who the boilers are, when you play a boiler in your league, you go head to head, if you play a non boiler, then weight up a team of tweaked but non-boiled bases and go head to head with him. This keeps it on a level playing field.

Things can always be worked out and compromises can always be found.

Just my opinion.
