Occasionally, if I don't have any clashes, I may add some padding to BBC shows, but that will be a miniscule amount to change the settings for, compared to the amount I have to change now. Custom defaults ought to have been there from the get go.
I agree with you, passingbat. It's OK for those people who don't record much, but I too frequently have three tuners in use and if all of them are set to over-run by 4 minutes, that stuffs the next hour's recordings that you want to do.

It was a good idea to have the -1+4 as a default, but the ability to change it for all recordings should have been provided. That is all that was wrong with that idea.
