On that particular question, I'm very happy with being able to specify a number of months for which to subscribe; but I'd have preferred to be able to specify a few more months than 19 in one go! Up to 36 seems reasonable.

As for how long articles should be subscriber-only - I don't know; having them delayed by a week was incentive enough for me, and I don't think just lengthening the embargo will necessarily encourage any more people to subscribe... in fact, perhaps it's already had a cost.

Same here -- I couldn't wait a week.
