I think you have done the proper amount of leg work to give a real world answer.
At the lower O2 voltages.... .80v and below you would get the bucking feeling and extreme high EGT values. But by simply altering your fuel table values and running O2 volgages at or near .85v those bucks went away and EGT dropped right down. It seems to me these O2 sensors do a very good job of delivering an accurate reading.
Only way to get the real wide band O2 reading is to place a bung just after the turbo. Kinda hard to do with our cars. Having the sensor in the tail pipe tip ok but not the best spot.
