I believe that this last suggestion is a good one, it saves a lot of
"spin-up" time for the reviewer, and the authors don't have to get
used to the idiosyncracies of multiple reviewers.

One other suggestion:  when something goes to AD review after
multiple rounds with a technical advisor, a light touch is probably
in order.  It is very frustrating for authors to have one person say
the MIB module is OK only to have someone else say otherwise late in
the game.
