top speeds match up very well except for mil power at 25k which is about 10mph slow.
climb rate is a about 100-200fpm slow in most areas if the chart is based on 100% fuel and light ammo load.

The top speed data is pretty good -- hits it right on the nipple.
My question is concerning the best ROC.  How did you obtain this data?  I assume it wasn't by simply using the default climb speed, which IIRC selects the best IAS speed for optimal climb at 0 ASL.
