The reweighting is done at Loop level that is blind about the fitting
technique...

The first column IS NOT showing the default results, am I right?
Were's the logfiles for those fit jobs?

Given that the weights are computed at Loop level I do not see any
obvious 'technical' reason for having those two different results. The
fact is that for sure we're reweighting b2u MC in a different way for B0
and B+ and the mult fit can be more sensitive to that due to the different
eff in the various categories: I'm still trying to investigate why there's
such shift.... If the weights that you apply are the correct ones the
effect should, however be compatible for B0 and B+...

Hi Urs,
as discussed in our last meeting we decided to reweight separately B0 and
B+ in order to take into count the differences btw the exclusive
spectra/BRs properly. So I've just splitted B0 and B+ and tested that the
weights that are coming from that operation have on the overall sample the
same effect as before. (value in 3rd and 4th column are showing you the
effect: ball value does not change while B0 and B+ do).
So the only diffenrece btw default result in row 3 and row 4 is that i've
switched on the reweighting separately for B0 and B+.
Going now to row 5 you'll see the new FINAL/DEFAULT value obtained after
ITERATIONS of weight calculations. I've started with our BRBR value (2.02)
instead of using 1.7 (PDG) and I've iterated the weight calculations
switching every time to the new measured value (waiting for a
stabilization of our sresult). The 3rd iteration was the good one and from
that one I've committed the weights and find out the new default.

Hope that this is a bit more clear...
So the only change is that the value for BRBR used in weight calculation
has been taken from our measurement iterating.
Let me know if there's anything still unclear ...
