Yeah optimisation is a pain.If I have to reduce the dither to such an extent where there is obvious banding I tend to dial up the lossy to compensate it acts like a faux-dither and reduces the banding
or I opt for a "Pattern" dither and dial down the number of colours. But I completely sympathise as there is always a lot you have to sacrifice to bring it below 400k.
What program are you using btw?

photoshop cs5,cheers for the advice, need to practise the reduction. If this gif had less frames, I would have made it better quality.

Never was a problem for me as I own a PC I just start typing the name of the gif and it picks it up. maiden is filmed before a live studio audience,

Here's the thing:if you use that method, it doesn't preserve the frame delays. It sets them all to the same delay. So it doesn't really import all animated .gifs properly. That's been fixed in CS5. You can also now just double-click an animated .gif and it opens in photoshop, no silly import scripts and workarounds.
