    B R L' U' F // EO sq
    (R' U' B2 L2 U R2 D' R) // DR (13)
    D (D2 R2 D' L2 B2 D') // HTR (20)
    (B2 L2) // 3e + eslice
    (L2 B2 D2 B2 L2 B2 D2 B2) // eslice (25)

    Too much work for a +1

    Optimal finish to my DR :
    (R2 D R2 D' R2 F2 U') // HTR (20-1)
    (D F2 D2 R2 B2) // E-slice (23)
    +1 for 24, dunno why I didn't try those (R2 D) setups to HTR-4e4c

    Anyways the scramble deserved better than that. I think Cyprian will find very nice block starts
