It's down to personal preference.
So, take anote of how much amber you see at various locales across entire canopy and at varying depths. this way you can accurately compare to testing a different ripeness in the future and you can choose for yourself what you like more or less.
Yes, more ripe should be more couch lock, but some people's brain chemistry might act differently. Think of how Nyquil can either make someone hyper or sleepy, even though most feel sleepy from it. Test it yourself. don't rely on others or 'what should be' for this sort of detail.
