I think rank 7 also has a Surprise with a Renomme.
I agree, two connies are way too hard. It is possible though. I have managed to do it if only a couple of times (in a Constitution) after many attempts. I usually end up turning tail and running. But in my opinion, at this level, a single connie would be too easy. Maybe two trincos could be an alternative? Although that wouldn't be a walk in the park either.
