Profile for MMU2S with .25 nozzle?

So I recently got my MMU2S up and running and went ahead and used the configuration wizard to auto-load the default configurations.  I noticed that there was a .25 nozzle profile for single material mode, but no .25 nozzle profile for MMU mode.  Is there a reason for this?  Is it "not recommended" to use a .25 nozzle in multi material mode?  I'm asking because I'm planning on printing a bunch of minis, and I wanted to use soluble supports for them.  I find that if I use regular supports, weapons tend to break off when I try to remove the support material 🙁

I have the same question.

Both mixing filaments and using the 0.25 nozzle increase the risk of clogging. Maybe that risk is too high to call it a stable profile.

But you can simply write it on your own.

Keep in mind that at lower layer heights and smaller nozzle diameters, your purge block is going to start getting *very*large, both owing to having to purge the same volume of material in less vertical space, and the additional volume required to completely clear any previous material out of the innards with a smaller nozzle.

That's working fine: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/english-forum-awesome-prints-hall-of-fame/going-small-with-mmu/

Missing official profiles only means that PR is not consider it relevant for mainstream usage.
