Yes, but really really seldom. You'd rather buy. Too much hassle with
the agent. In high production phases, you would need to set +30 e.g.

Ok. Then I have to ask: what scale did you use? What is G=1 vs. 
P=10 e.g. Sorry that I ask, I should read the source, probably.
I think there should be weights that behave like 1:2, 1:3, 1:4,
and 1:5.
