From an AC CLN point of view,

AMAN doesn't look far enough out for us to take into account anything to do with the order as it appears on the screen. By the time the delays are shown then the traffic is already 10-15 miles inside the sector and the order from our point of view has been decided. If it could look out another 50 miles then we could ask MAAS to slow down/ speed up traffic so that the stream into LAM is better. (i'm aware that it would make no difference for OCK and the multiple sectors feeding it)

What it does enable us to do is see the average delay and slow down traffic accordingly, but we always done this so it doesn't help. Rehash of the same equipment IMHO. Good idea, bad application.
