Well, it could be that the end-game value of mKcN is indeed lower than that of a pure Commoner, but that this is masked because the superior forking power makes it very likely you can always trade it for another minor in the midle-game. I measured opening values only.

If that were true, the lower intrinsic value of the mKcN would only be revealed when there is nothing to trade it against, or if all the opponent's minors would be weaker than Commoners.
