I've read up a little more on blind testing methodology so I think I grok 
what's going on now.

I intend to give RC3 a spin this weekend with your perl script so I can find 
my quality/size sweet spot. Then I'll have a go at building a re-encoding

Are there new python modules for RC3 libraries? I would have though an update 
for libao might be necessary.
