Don't forget, that a Megaminx is harder to memo, because you cannot take only one letter per piece. And there are no short comms and you can't get tps like on a 5x5.
But I guess, if Megaminx blind would be come official, then we would have a sub 7 soon. In deed, I have (with my abilities) now quite the same times as in 5bld. So the best should even get to sub6 (if they do it with the same effort like bigbld).
For now it is cool to have someone getting the UWR with a 1-piece-at-the-time-method. I started with that too, but my turning is so slow, that trying to use the comm for edges with two of them gets a bit faster. But setting up is not that easy, because you have to avoid turning the second piece when setting up the first one (so I often solve the pair with two x-perms instead of thinking too long). Tow-at-the-time can be faster for edges for me in many cases because the alg is long, but it took quite long to get used to it and do it more or less fluently without thinking too much. For corners with the shorter comm it is nearly not that worth while, but I think there are some good cases too, but again, it takes time to get used to them.
Enoch's progress is really amazing, but he "just" worked on it for a couple of weeks. If he would do longer he should find really good ways for "two-at-the-time". I only use it, when it is an easy case (if an edge is in front or could be brought to the top-face by turning only one face), but he has definitely a far better feeling for the pieces on a Megaminx.
And if he then would have the memo-abilities of a sub5-5blder ...
