I'm not Tracy but the way I understand it is you don't want this.
Why did Powersport get such poor fuel efficiency against the Lycoming fly-offs in the RV-8's.
Because there was no option for leaning past max power setting.

I guess you could have a max-power/best-fuel-efficiency switch, but then again you don't have a single lever. And there would probably be times when you want something in-between and you're back to the variable mixture control.

Ed has already answered the CS BS.
