Ah, I see what you mean -- thanks for pointing that out. I've never tried a stopover on a US award ticket.
As for the increased capacity on Standard awards, that is only on UA metal. If there are Saver awards available then there is no reason to not book them.
I was trying to avoid the confusion about why the website lists "Saver" and "Standard" awards for partner itineraries, and I couldn't come up with a good way to phrase it. In fact, both award types link to the same inventory bucket on partner airlines. There is definitely no reason not to book a Saver award if they're available.
