Many thanks for the clarification about this coin - you are fully correct. In my defense I can point out that RYO still say "Cryptonight-Heavy" on the first page on their web site.

Lol, I think you've done this long enough to know the main website can be one of the last things to be updated for/after a fork.

Please note that many CryptoNight variants uses a "Exponential Factor" (see the Properties Dialog of a coin) of 0, while the default for most other coins are 32. Awesome Miner will however look for "cryptonight" in the algorithm name and automatically use 0 as default for them. The result is that if you add an algorithm like "Cryptonight-GPU" it will be an exp. factor of 0 and if you call it "CN-GPU" it will be 32.

In both cases you can update this value in the Properties of the coin, and testing values like 0 and 32 is a good starting point.

Okay great. I'll keep this in mind in the future.

One other thing - I see a lot of other posts about coin values - I don't know if its been brought up but with coincalculators, recently its exchange prices aren't being updated that often - or at least for lower volume coins - but its "average last price" is.  This can cause the current profit estimates to be way off. It would be great if there would be a way to use that value instead of the exchange ones for more accurate mining.
