I fully agree that G.729 should be tested without the B annex, but I 
think your other choice is questionable. G.729 may sound distinctly 
better than G.729A, but G.729A is the dominant codec in the real world. 
Basic G.729 is actually quite rare. Are you trying to test against what 
people are familiar with, or what a pretty good current generation 8kbps 
codec can achieve?
