    TL difference is also a DM on the Cargo Table.

I suggest you use the MINIMUM of source and destination as DM.  So flows
are the same in both directions.

    Lots of Hi population worlds next to each other; you couldn't go wrong!

Funny, when I travelled through that area, the authorities were well aware
of profits to be made and either (1) the merchant cartels leaned heavily on
so-called "free traders" (sugar in your LOX) and took a hefty bite out of
profits (reducing them to zero) or (2) the level of taxes or bribes
required lowered profits to zero.  Competitive market, you know...
