I read it as being a -34 is better for high boost (over 15psi) applications

i did read it stu, but to me it reads that you can bleed off 10psi and set the -31 to 10psi, which by your essay looks like it cant be done because the -31 can only to 8psi?

The T34 has a harmonic frequency problem on many YB's that cause it to sheer the shaft clean in two just where the locknut locks up the adjustable rod end.

If your wanting to hold 19psi then you could use a -31 preload set to 10psi and bleed 9psi off, or you could use a -34 preload at 15psi and bleed off 4psi.
Or there abouts!
