That was the advantage of the Turbo dyno, you could set up the steps to whatever parameter you wanted. I remember being told that setting it up in amp steps was a good way to go, because just as you noted, you were trying to find the best motor in the amp range you used. I know tuning 540 silver cans for Tamiya series races, I was looking more around the 15-30 A range for F1 cars on carpet. The average amp draw was probably around 12-15A, but looking a bit higher would also show which motor would pull harder out of a corner.
