"The recommended settings you want" is a wild turn of the phrase. Unless I want exactly what they're recommending, they can't possibly be both.

But I'd still prefer zero.

Don't forget the good ol' "users click next all the time" leaving all of the recommendations on: a single screen expedites the process!
