and even 1.0 is giving me a file undersized compared to the source.
The FHG files are from the newest 5.622 Winamp.
Back to nero for now.
As the FHG encoder is ClosedSource, only one of the Winamp/FHG engineers could answer this question

All that LameXP can do is passing options to the API provided by the encoder. And the VBR quality selector of the FHG encoder is relatively coarse-grained:

The quality value can be selected between 1 and 5, integer (whole numbers) only. The quality selector of the Nero encoder is much more fine-grained, as you know...

(Note that the quality slider in LameXP was designed for Nero AAC. For FHG AAC the values in range 0.0 to 1.0 are mapped to 1...5 in a linear fashion)
