I'm not saying that grouping EVA characters together is necessarily a bad thing (I myself always grouped together "ch", "sh", "cph", "cfh", "cth", "ckh") and I'm not saying Currier made bad choices, but personally I'd rather use a more 'raw' transliteration in EVA.

This feels to me like one of the most pervasive misconceptions in modern Voynich research, up to the academic level. EVA makes just as many choices as Currier did, and one is not necessarily closer to the truth than the other. It is up to the person running the test to be aware of the fact that, no matter which system they use, some changes may be required.
