I updated to the latest REW and got a new external sound card. The setup looks like this.
I don't have a tripod that works very well. I'm doing something wrong somehow.
I did some testing with the new version as setup above. You can see the photos here. My AVR was at -10.

The 244 traps seem to be doing a very good job sitting on my stage area. I found that if I moved them closer to my screen it helped but if I placed anything behind them or changed the angle, it made for a less flat response. I did an A/B comparison with and without them on the front wall and with or without them on the back wall.
Here are test results with the previous version of REW I did but am somewhat lazy to do again with the new one. I like the traps where they are and don't want to have to reposition them again.
center back row purple with and blue without traps sub and mains -traps on rear wall
center front row black with and green without traps mains and sub -traps on front wall
I think I will have to go equalize my sub later on but I would like to get the most from treatments I can.
I should finish treating under the screen which makes since. Does that mean I need three custom pieces? One behind the subwoofer and center channel and one on each side to cover the rest under the screen? What about the back wall? I didn't see any difference for the front row except very low and not much change for the back row. Should I place something larger, try moving them away from the wall further to allow more air behind them? Are there any other treatment options that I should consider then based on these test results? There is no compromises but bookshelves I have been told by one individual within our household are not going to look good. I was thinking about adding more panels on the ones I have already but I'm not sure about that yet.
