Recent years have seen tremendous progress in numerical relativity and an ever 
improving performance of ground-based interferometric gravitational wave 
detectors. The numerical relativity  and  gravitational wave data analysis 
communities are joining forces and addressing the question of what is the most 
effective role for NR waveforms in the detection and characterization of binary 
black hole coalescences.
We present the status of a study of detection systematics for binary black hole 
coalescences in the mass range where merger and ringdown constitute most of the 
in-band signal for ground based interferometers. Waveforms produced with the 
MayaKranc code are added to colored, gaussian noise and analyzed with the 
unmodeled burst search algorithm Qpipeline/Omega, which is used in LIGO-Virgo 
burst searches. Detection efficiency and parameter accuracy are systematically 
weighted against parameters such as spin and mass ratio as well as numerical 
details such as waveform accuracy, the number of included modes and extraction 
radius.
