After running the game thus far, here's what I've come to understand:

>If you use the new difficulty math, always make your encounters high-average, or hard.
>If the new difficulty errata says to lower a monsters health, don't. In fact, give all monsters that are Difficulty 4 +5 total Health, or they will get killed in a single hit often.
>You need more mooks, because PCs who min/max single hit damage will delete a whole enemy before they get a chance to act, but that PC usually can't make two attacks per round. Larger groups of smaller dudes with ranged support is the hard counter.
>You need to do roll over damage into health. This should have been standard in the core rules.
>Combat turn order is way faster than most games, but heavily relies on you as the GM to force a relatively hasty decision on who takes Initiative to keep the flow going (PCs will stall here for whatever reason).
>It doesn't matter how much content you cut, you aren't fitting it into one 4hr session.
>Zones are legit my new favorite way to run the game.
>Once PCs hit Master tier, auto dice rollers will make the session run way faster.
>Every single player has openly admitted to me they prefer this system to 5.5e
