I'm not sure there is much more to cover on this topic. There is no general consensus as far as a "perfect" A/F ratio since some have seen power gains going leaner than 12.0 while others have not. Going leaner will certainly leave less room for error, especially as the ethanol content changes during the cooler months.
As always, each car and setup will have different results, and each driver/tuner will have different needs (i.e. all out power, safe tune, etc.) I've found it best to just try it on my car and monitor the results.

Just a side note. E85 runs much cooler and Evo Exhaust valve are inconel from the factory.
I agree with mrfred because its of the type of fuel you can running leaner but the benefits aren't any greater. I would also be concerned with running too rich because you can run into cylinder wash down.
