yes. the results you will get for Engage will be higher quality than the 
results that you get for other VOs, in as much as the sites file generated

I'd give the same advice that I give for any general use of GRAM2 - don't 
set the job throttle to higher than 0.2; this will have a maximum of 20 
jobs at once on a site.
