I don't want to put too heavy a level of restriction on "map balance" - the Pitbosses where the map has a lot of variation (5 and 8 are once again my models) are a lot more fun to lurk than the heavily balanced/near mirrored ones, as there's more of a sense of discovery and exploration to be had when you can't extrapolate the map based on your start.
As I said upthread - as long as none of the BFCs are lame duck, everyone has early strategic resources accessible, and nobody's screwed out of luxes, I think we'll be fine.
