    Rob, the only argument I can see that goes the other way is that the Subaru deep
    fields would be completely fresh fields, allowing us to find more new z~0.85 SNe
    beyond the one that would already be found with CFHT (assuming that *sometime*
    in the next 5 nights CFHT gets a half-hour on each field). However, if the
    weather looks at all good at CTIO for the next three nights, I might still go
    with your basic plan (for the reasons that you give) and try to do the Subaru
    deep fields later.
