does anyone really use DCC speed tables?

I've had to use the custom speed table on my two Atlas H-16-44 locos; the built-in Atlas decoder doesn't support CV5 and CV6, and the loco just runs too fast with the default settings. So for now I've built a spreadsheet that extropolates the values out for a switcher, road freight and mainline engine, and use the spreadsheet to set the speed table values. I don't plan on MUing these two, but I do prefer more "realistic" speed control. <br /> <br />I'll probably upgrade the Atlas deocoders someday, but I still have 7 or 8 older locos to get decoders for and install them, so it's not high on my priority list.
