I'll have to think about that. Already two thoughts come to mind:
1) being on a centre-ish file, or on a file near a king's file, could be a factor of some importance, besides the rank on which a piece stands;
2) a knight, while admittedly quite significantly weaker than a champion on a lot of board sizes and shapes, has 4 forward moves in its footprint, like a champion has (a FAD has 5, it might be noted), so it ought to be able to get to a nice rank about as easily as a champion I'd think. That's maybe depending a bit on where each starts in a given CV's setup, or depending on how willing a given player is to allow the trade of champions for other specific piece types, for whatever reason.
