Dear authors

I appreciate the improvements you included and share the opinion of the reviewers who pointed out the usefulness of your study.
Nevertheless, a few changes are necessary before I will accept the manuscript.

p.6,l.18: please delete "perhaps"

p.6,l.20: please mention the stochastic SD initialization of Unterstrasser & Sölch (2014)

p.7,l.6: To be honest, I would rather say that "equal multiplicity is the WORST choice when collision/coalescence is ...".

p.7,l.11: you write "there is a need to activated new super-droplets". Is it correct or did you mean "need for" or "need to activate"?

p.10, last line: please replace "/" by "or" to make it clearer.

The discussion in the last paragraph of section 3 must include the non-trivial point, that a SD memory re-organisation (as you propose) leads to increased inter-processor communication which could become a bottleneck in 2D/3D simulations.

The Sölch & Kärcher reference should be added to your list of LCMs in the conclusion. Furthermore, I think it would be fair to mention there as well that this LCM introduced an analogous strategy much earlier. Whether the particular LCM treats warm clouds or pure cirrus is of secondary importance, as all mentioned LCM use similar concepts (even those they differ in some details of the implementations due to different underlying physics)

Best regards,
Simon Unterstrasser

Dear Authors

I appreciate your final changes and congratulate you to a nice contribution in the field of Lagrangian microphysical models. And I am looking forward to your future work in this field of research.

Best wishes,
Simon
