CPW, in my opinion, are an almost useless marketing number.

I find CPW to be quite significant in that it offers historical perspective - going back to about 1989 when the first "B" models were built. It seems that these days a lot of benchmarks are redefined after 3-5 years, so you lose historical continuity.
