I know other was not an option but I would also toss out for consideration Unknown Armies

But "realism" is terribly imprecise, I know English is already a horribly imprecise language but "realism" is one of the worst offenders in that regard because everyone has a different idea as to what is realistic especially in regard to a game system, since we run into things like "how often should a trained professional it a man-sized target while shooting?" as the FS3 thread a while back showed even if the results are actually realistic they can still be perceived as non-realistic.
I purposely choose "sub-optimal" as the term to use because I wanted to acknowledge the mathematical differences in the choices but did not want to you a definite pejorative term like "worse" since I do not believe the chose to be worse it is simply a choice, much like I do not hold min-maxing against those who choose to do it, just two different choices to made in the same rules framework. I guess less efficient could work as well but to me that sounds more negative.
