If you want something a bit more strategic resistant, Reynaud(Margins) 
might be a good step up.  I was thinking about this recently in relation 
to the recent Approval 'Elimination' Condorcet thread and the Reynaud 
thread.  Chris Benham mentioned it in passing in the recent Reynaud thread.

If I got it right, the method can be summarised as "While there is no 
Condorcet Winner, eliminate the candidate with the worst MinMax(Margins) 
'score'".  I don't know whether this method is monotonic or not.

I get the feeling that Reynaud(Margins) is going to be the best you're 
going to get with regards to a reasonable strategic resistant Margins 
Pairwise method.

Thanks,
Gervase.
