Here's some fantastic stuff by Mike Pitts, comparing the viewsheds from the Avenue route with those from the computed "least energy" route!
http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue11/reviews/pitts.html

Hundreds of monuments are visible from both, making any analysis impossible (I'd have thought}, but he does observe that from the least energy route...
"the strong sense that on the Avenue route you are being encouraged to see the landscape with a steady anti-clockwise sweep from east to west - mirroring the daily passage of the sun in the sky - is absent."

How good is that as a bit of work?!
