Good points, but let me correct myself a bit. Actually 0-9-6 is the better strategy, you get it by setting the royal to 0 on a strategy generator, such as the wizard's. The result is a royal cycle of 77,750, almost double the maxEV royal cycle. The return as such is 97.95% . I made the assumption you would actually be playing for an 800 royal, and that you would accept that, so adding that back in: 800/77,750 = 1.03% additional for a net 98.98%, almost 99%.
