This paper presents improved variants of the SLAs for which results were reported at the 2014 Scientific Committee meeting in Bled. Candidates are presented ranging from complete satisfaction of the conservation performance criterion for the MSYR1+ evaluation trials, to alternatives that sacrifice performance on this count for improved need satisfaction. Need is better satisfied over the first 20 years than over 100 years for these SLAs in these trials.
