Comparing JT76 with JT94: (please correct if wrong)
They make about the same number of str8s
JT94 makes a few more 9 and 8 way SDs(fwiw)
JT76 has a 20 way SD (14 nut outs)
This occurs 2% of time, of which 1/5 boards are paired or monotone.
JT94 has 2 13 way SDs (13 and 7 nut outs).
JT76 is more likely to make you a hand that you can post on the forum and make everyone jealous of your genius.

Should JT94 be played? You're mistaking me for someone who knows anything. However, I am beginning to think that suitedness is what gives most straightening hands any real value.
