It is, as they say, too close to call.

The problem, for those who can be arsed reading on, is the two system election mechanism which produces what are generally regarded as second-best 'list' MSPs - sometimes known as MSPs for nowhere and nobody.

That's a very good point. Do we need the expense of 129 MSPs? Wouldn't 79 constituency MSPs be just as good as considerably lower cost?

They'd be directly accountable to a specific and reasonably local geographical area and people and, whilst they'd need a bit more back office support, that could be provided comparitively cheaply in comparison to funding the egos of MSPs.
