On my end, of which I had decided to meld Craftsmanship over Control (just being different), on one of my Master DoH jobs (BSM in this case) and un-buffed:
Craftsmanship = 2676
Control = 2304
CP = 547


That is with all Facet gear and Dwarven accessories penta-melded mostly to always at least hit the CP cap, with Craftsmanship mostly over Control for the rest.
Also, I used higher tier materia for the tools mostly over what was used for the rest, just because of the costs at that time, so if I did redo them all for better melds, I wouldn't have to redo the tools, just the gear.
