Description
See http://taxsim.nber.org/out2psl/1142
PE and TA both choose married-combined and get the same tax before credits. TA calculates the inflation relief credit separately for each taxpayer while PE uses the joint filing calculation of that credit. They are different. See the worksheet.
I think this makes the selection of joint v combined more difficult.

Research direction
Start with the TAXSIM output at http://taxsim.nber.org/out2psl/1142 and the referenced worksheet. Compare the PE and TA calculations for the inflation relief credit when both select married-combined, then determine how the joint-versus-combined selection should be made consistent.
