That is useful because it means that if i have less 'Atlantic Baltic' (which i do) then i don't end up as British Isles + southern European/Near eastern, but i end up with a much more precise location for that extra ancestry.
So instead of having a general 'southern pull', i can actually see roughly where that pull should come from, so it's a lot less vague. That east-west split in northern Europe is also useful because it kind of stops northern Europe being so linear (especially when Caucasus and Gedrosia are combined) and allows it to sort of spread out sideways.
But anyway i'm off to bed. I think in my order of most to least consistent/accurate/reliable (top 5) it is, because splitting Europe east/west adds that finer detail, even though it is explaining a bit less variation than just a north-south split (the genetic divide is apparently larger between northern and southern Europe than between Eastern and western?):
