Is there any way you could have it also monitor the running total / paid out total?
Yes, just modify the config file like I said in the first post.
I was also still wondering how your comparison is going?
this was the last time I measured:

So Ahashpool seemed to be slightly ahead, by a small margin, but basically I think you can use whichever you like most. I find ahash more responsive, and has more miners than hashrefinery so I still use it.
