I see more of a difference from the fact that you are using 100
max-reserve-bandwith in the second option, than from setting or not the
10% in class default.

This is one case where a "should I modify max-reserve-bandwitdth?"
question to the proctor would not hurt (IMHO). Setting
max-reserve-bandwith to 100 does not sound good to me...

Does system-generated traffic (routing processes, etc) fall into this class or would that traffic potentially starve if all remaining bandwidth (to fill up 100%) was guaranteed in the class-default (of course this could only be done by changing the "max-reserve-bandwidth" value to 100%).
