Yeah, you have a point.
And these sub-20 STM with CPFB doesn't sound like luck anymore

I love this challenge. It's difficult (with aiming for low move count I'm satisfied with), but not too difficult.

I think this is a new record for me, 17-STM!

I quickly noticed that (y' z) R D' is an exceptionally short way for a FB, but it did not give me CPFB. I played around (I usually randomly insert extra moves that does not destroy the FB and see if it fixes the CP), and discovered that an U2 insertion in the beginning gives me a CPFB. Went from there, and noticed I can build a short SB in multiple ways:
U' r' U r U' R U2 R'
U' r' U r U' r U2 R'
U' r' U r U2 R U' R'
and of course the last R' can be r' too; so I checked different LSE for each, and this was the shortest overall. :) Still, it took me like 10-15 minutes of trial and error.

Woah, that's impressive! Now I wonder if CFOP can get a 17.
