SRO is still a lot better in my opinion (although FCY--SC is completely ridiculous), as for example in Spa 24 hours, there were 4 situations which would most definitely result in caution if it was an IMSA race, but they were able to deal with it using local yellows/FCY only. Plus there are no passarounds.
