questions about oven spring

hi,

          I wonder if the following holds true:

          in terms of bread quality:

          oven spread < oven spring without visible expansion along scoring line < oven spring with visible expansion along scoring line

          Any ideas?

 

thanks!

Oven spring is oven spring.  I'm not the world's greatest in terms of reliable scoring of SD loaves and sometimes I don't score quite deep enough or there is a weak spot in the dough because I haven't made it tight enough for final proofing.  Regardless, I always get good spring even with an outward bulge at the sides.
