Unless someone comes in with a statistically significant sample, then there's no reason to even consider it.
To this end, I will record two sample sizes of 100 gathers each, one with a stated success rate of 83% success and one with a stated 81% success rate. I'll record only the nodes with + gathering yield, no bonus or + gathering attempts, but, before I do so, I believe that the stated percentages are pretty reasonable estimates...
