Those are the sizes I have, too. The P2k based dump definitions have 
info about the contents/size of the dumps. That's why the 12 
controller units can make use of 16 controller dumps--at least as 
far as presets go. Though I have done a side by side comparison of 
preset dumps from both, I have not done that for multis. If you 
haven't figured it out in a week, I should have some time to help 
out. (I assume you have the proteus family sysex guide. That should 
help.)
