I just had a weird thought. On a sufficiently large cube, in either L4E or ELL, every possible case is almost guaranteed to occur. Which means that for each step (e.g. first edge, second edge, last two edges) you can literally just do every alg in a row, applying it to the wing groups with that case on them. That would mean each additional layer only adds a really small number of moves... just the number of extra slices you have to do to include those groups in your L4E/ELL algs.
What I had in mind goes beyond that. You can solve two mismatched 3 cycles in the same alg quite easily with [X,Y,Z], so they don't even have to be the same case.
Aha. What's your technique for solving midges for free during other algs? Can you give some examples?
Block comms and stuff like [Flip, M r']. Hardest case is probably [r, B' U R' B U', l' M].
Whee! More than one good method! I love when that happens.
Saying that one method is good does not imply that another is bad.
