It would
definitely be easier that way.

I don't know if this was deliberate on Dom's part, but I suspect that it wasn't as I ran into the same problem when I got my Juno-6 (which is the synth Dom used for most of his theme). There's a tuning knob on the back of it and I had it set to the dead center. I didn't notice for several days that it was detuned by a considerable amount and I had to adjust the knob to correct for it. And seeing as Dom was rushed when doing the theme and dealing with a bunch of new equipment, it's entirely possible that the same thing happened to him.

The middle eight was redone in the 2008 theme, so that makes sense. It's also a more raw electronic sound so it blends better with the Howell theme, I think. I don't disagree with your choice; I think it works pretty well. I probably would have done it with the 1986 theme just because I wouldn't have thought not to. This way it kind of ends up being Derbyshire + Howell + Glynn all together. Just add Keff. (Sounds like instructions off a package.)
