Which number would you use to set your FTP, the test number of 214 or 60' peak NP of 223w?
your peak 60' is suspect due to the variablity bit that's being discussed somewhere (here?). I'd go with the 214 ---> call it 215W and go from there. If it'll make you feel good you can say 220W and see how that works out.
