What PR difference will make this a practical drop?

Seems to me that a lot of the equity for white comes from a re-whip when blue misses. But do you rewhip to 8 against an inferior player? Yeah, if you think they will drop, but otherwise?

This would seem to skew the decision, but I have no experience applying asymmetric MET despite playing a fair amount of opponents with varying abilities.

I think I'd take this no matter what, but might hold if my opponent was that bad a player and tended to take cubes that are drops. Of course, an inferior player should be taking cubes that increase the influence of luck, but they might not know that.

Which is a long way to say that I have no idea.
