But, what you suggest is good idea. Adding the output format as the first format in the list is easy. Adding an option is slightly harder. Mainly because I have to write the label for the option How about

Code:
Use your Preferred Output Format if available
And the tooltip:

Code:
Check this option if you want the statistics to be calculated using the format that you have selected as the Preferred Output Format for calibre conversions. If this is not available, or the option is not checked, the first format found in the Preferred Input Format will be used.
That's horrible but the best I can do at the moment. Any suggestions are welcome. Very welcome.
@david - here's my settings, and the option as I envisage it

IMO Pronouns shouldn't be used in labels, in tooltips okay, but in labels nay. I also prefer to put any conditional clause first, it makes the intent emphatic, putting it at the end tends to shroud it in mystery - i.e. Churchillian good, Hitchockian not. But I'll only look it at once, so it matters hardly a jot

And thanks for the +ve response.
