16QAM for Station maintenance ATDMA docsis 3.0 CASA CMTS

Hi, i see Station maintenance in modulation profiles is in QSPK. QPSK is a very robust modulation and the cable modem will stay online down to a MER of around 12 dB, but subscriber data (shown in a-short and a-long) is transmitting at 64-QAM. The CMTS could report, via station maintenance that the modem looks just fine due to robust QPSK, but not for 64QAM.

Isn't it better to set the STATION to 16QAM to have a real idea of ​​the health of my network?
