Lee,
Lundgren (K.C.) is a tough subject to be sure, but I certainly would not rank it as the toughest non-SLer.
Piedmont 350 and Sweet Caporal 350/30 are the most common 350-only backs and Lundgren (K.C.) likely experienced a full print with both [my survey data, at least, don't show a shortage of Lundgren (K.C.) with these backs]. The fact that the K.C. version is not available with some of the more difficult backs (e.g. AB350 frame, BL350, Drum, Sov350, PB, Tolstoi) makes it tougher than a typical 350-only subject, but the Chicago version (which is only possible with Piedmont 150 and in very limited quantities with Piedmont 350 and EPDG) is tougher. Also, bifurcated 150/350 subjects that were printed in more limited quantities with 350 backs [e.g. Elberfeld (Washington Portrait) and Dahlen (Brooklyn)] are also more difficult in my view.
