BEopt v3beta Heat Pump Changes

I see the benefits of simplifying the heat pump option configuration, but how is one meant to distinguish between cold-climate and non-cold-climate qualified heat pumps with the new version? The ramp down-fraction in BEopt 2.8 was very powerful compared to other tools, but understandably not the most familiar. What about a ccHP checkbox that switches between EPA or NEEP criteria-satisfying low-temperature performance, and more conventional options?
