Bill, understood. As it is trimmed now, the cruise and descent were
very nice, at least to my SO-trained eyes. The climb stopped at about
20-25 s. As the plane started its cruise, I couldn't help but sense
that there was enough speed to gain more altitude. I know it's a
balancing act, and I will be sure not to sacrifice good cruise. My
favorite part of flights is the descent -- I love seeing the slow
flying. I think the descent last night from 25 ft was from 1:10 to
3:05.

normal. For high ceilings and lots of torque you're probably better off
with the wing about parallel to the thrustline as Bob Bailey
recommended. Whatever you wind up with for wing incidence always adjust
the stab for optimum cruise. DON'T fly with anything other than an
optimum incidence for the cruise part of the flight. I've seen many
people who will change the adjustment to fix a power stall or "too much
climb in a low ceiling" without readjusting the cruise. Most of your
flight time is in the cruise and descent so make sure you've nailed that
adjustment.
