Well not sure what this is anymore as I have been block merging, Flux Schnell, Krea, Chroma Flash.

Distilled CFG sure has an effect unlike on Schnell.
Use 8-12 steps, distilled CFG well depends a bit one style between 3 and 10.
You can run it with a real CFG too, about 1.5 or 2 (will be a bit slower of course).

To help you decide A or B, B usually is more "stylized".Here with a real CFG of 1.5
