Well considering the time and effort you spent in putting this together, i'd imagine that your own suggestions will match your criteria better than those of anyone else.

The only obvious alternative (to me) to make this the Healthy-Choice ultra fat-free diet would be Fort Knox against 3.Nd2/Nc3.  Seems like eating plain rice cakes for dinner, but to each his own!  Smiley

I like how you've written that down - just a guess but are you working in IT/programming?

Regarding the last section (KIA) the sequence in the Qe2 line with 5.g3 b5 6.Bg2 (6.e5) dxe4 7.dxe4 b4 is one I´ve not come across so cant say too much.
In the other standard sequence:
1.e4 e6 2.d3 d5 3.Nd2 3..Nf6 4.Ngf3 Nc6 5.c3 (!) - always bothered me when I played Black - 5...a5 6.e5 Nfd7 7.d4 - I never felt completely happy here which is why I stopped playing the ....Nc6 line.

C00-C19: light (trial) repertoire (B) good enough?

I'd like to experiment with this defence for a change. (To surprise certain opponents who expect something else and also to see what White players without preliminary knowledge about me choose.)
For the time being, while I am just experimenting, I'd prefer safer variations, with little memorization. I don't mind if they are drawish--I can still try to play for a win in equal positions.
Here is what I found for the purpose:

1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5
* 3.Nc3 --> 3..Be7 //in: Nigel Davies' [CBFT] "Solid Repertoire w/ 1..e6"
* 3.Nd2 --> 3..Be7 //in: SolidRep
* 3.e5 c5 4.c3 Qb6 5.Nf3 Bd7 //in: SolidRep + [book] "How To Play against 1.e4"
* 3.exd5 exd5 //no problems
                 4.Nf3 Nc6 
                             5.Bb5 Nge7 //in: [book] "Flexible French"
                             5.Bd3 Bd6 6.c3 Nge7 //in: HowToPlay + Flexible 
                 4.Bd3 Nc6 5.c3 Bd6 6.Qf3 Be6!? //in: HowToPlay
                 4.c4 Nf6 //in: HowToPlay
                 4.Nc3 c6 //in: HowToPlay

1.e4 e6
* 2.Nf3 d5 3.e5 Bd7 //in: HowToPlay
* 2.Qe2 --> 2..Be7@ 3.Nf3 d5 4.d3 Nf6 //could transpose to 2.d3 d5 3.Qe2
2.d3 d5
* 3.Qe2 --> 3..Nf6 4.Nf3 Be7 //here we are again 
                 5.g3 b5 6.Bg2 (6.e5) dxe4 7.dxe4 b4 //in: HowToPlay
* 3.Nd2 --> 3..Nf6 4.Ngf3 Nc6@ 
                 5.g3 dxe4 6.dxe4 Bc5 7.Bg2 e5 //recommended by the Susan Polgar-DVD
                 5.c3 a5                  
                 
My opponents are not very strong strategically. (If there is nothing to attack, they easily fail to exploit positional weaknesses.)
What are the weak points of this repertoire? (Where should I expect to get into bad positions?)
