I will answer your last question. THIS IS A HUGE DEAL if you are flying in and out of mountainess terrain at an already high starting altitude. Summer time in the Rockies is a perfect example. I once flew a single out of Flagstaff airport in the summer time with a DA of about 10,900 feet. If you want an example of performace take you A/C up to 11,000 feet and slow to your rotation speed and add full power and try to climb. That is the exact same performace you will see trying to climb out just slighly better.
