The so called Pure Florida strain CNBG are a strikingly beautiful fish. And from what I read, they do tend to grow quickly under optimum conditions. As far as to how this translates into ultimate size potential, I certainly have an opinion, but I will let others who have years of experience with these fish weigh in on that. I will simply say that I have seen folks with "Arkansas strain" Coppernose grow some amazing fish, the same with "pure" northern strain.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
