Okay, so we are both saying the same thing. The only reason I commented in the first place is presenting the first array argument to CHOOSE as {2,1} just looked "odd" and "unnatural" to me (but you have to remember, I tendencies to be Obsessive-Compulsive, so things like that "bother" me more than it would most other people).
