Battlepoints averages for your table vs mine?
Coming from D&D 5e I evaluated the Battlepoints vs CR as my primary frame of reference and I found the Old Gus DH SRD guide very useful to help teach me how to build an encounter.

CALCULATE BATTLE POINTS
Start with 3 × the number of PCs + 2 Battle Points. Modify the results, depending on the type of encounter:
I tend to run larger tables like 5-8 PCs so my Battlepoints tend to skew from 17 to 26 and after my last few fights I'm now running the BP value much higher than the formula suggests to make those challenging/deadly fights feel closer to what my table is used to from D&D. I do this mostly out of habit and my table doesn't mind and kind of missed those longer fights but I'm trying to find that magic sweet spot where maybe I'd less D&D and more Narrative Action Film Scene so fewer points but more judicious use of Fear and Tension scene management. What has your experience been like at your tables especially compared to how it felt in whatever system you were playing in before DH.
