IMOHO the amount of code that is 'duplicated' between apps is minimal; 
each implements things differently anyway. The gains here are only in 
being consistent. Again IMO.
With that in mind; having more GUI tests on EBN sounds like a better 
solution based on the concept of new developers not learning each library 
when the solution seems to be so simple, just add 2 zoom actions..
