Winter Variation

[Lofty]

So I have been practicing Petrus for a little bit and having abandoned the idea of learning ZBLL I was looking at other alternatives for LL methods taking advantage of the benefits of step 3 but requiring fewer algs.
Has it seems to flow well with what I love (OH cubing) and is mostly RU algs. Of course I know it can be 100% RU but for the sake of much lower move counts it isn't always.
I seems to be better then just the standard OCLL+PLL. But how is F2LL compared to COLL+EPLL? I could always do COLL if it is a separated pair for step 4b or F2LL if it is a connected pair for my Petrus solving. Any thoughts on the variation?

lofty,
I need Help with R'. I do it with ring or pinky pulling back, but it is very awkward. It gets stuck and it is really tiring. So I end up straightening the cube and doing it from the back with index instead. and tips?

thats not exactly on topic here...
the only advice is practice it more. I would do an R' over and over and over till it hurt every day for a week.
