Thank you for your reply. Having earlier read some past posts on this and part of the
useful document at
http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/doc/books/hbf2/
I am now ready to comfortably conclude from your 1st and 3rd sentences that I have the
confirmation I was asking for. I appreciate your other comments that are a concise
summary of important details about the other two options.
Thanks.
