I don't think there's much merit to "mixing things up," just open hands that are vacuum profitable, as wide a range as you can get away with given the table texture.
I was thinking of live 5/10 when I asked that question - I should have been more clear.
So just to take the range that you suggested above - would you modify it and how if some of the following table dynamics were in play:
1. Most flops are going 3-5 way even after EP opens and stacks are 150bbs+; OR
2. Players are 3-betting a lot from LP; OR
3. CO/BTN are very tough, stacks are deep and they flat wide and attack postflop agressively; OR
4. You are playing a shallower stack, say 70bb-100bb.
