CAM5 comp set confusion

I'm trying to choose the most standard/tested/supported 2-degree, CAM5, F comp set in cesm1_0_4,
but the documentation I'm finding seems contradictory.
In the table of 'scientifically validated' comp sets I see the 2-degree F_AMIP_CAM5 listed.
But In the User's Guide comp set table (http://www.cesm.ucar.edu/models/cesm1.0/cesm/cesm_doc_1_0_4/a3170.html)
I see "Description: INVALID: AMIP runs not supported at this resolution",
which doesn't even make sense to me, because the resolution isn't specified and is a separate page/question.

The table lists F_2000_CAM5 as the default, but it's not listed in the scientifically validated table.
This also looks like an attractive choice because I also need to work with WACCM and I see that
the 2-degree F_2000_WACCM is listed in the scientifically validated table and has no 'INVALID'
comments in the User's Guide table.

Any guidance would be appreciated, including pointers to the details of the characteristics of the
comp sets.

Thanks,
Kevin
