The response part of the current DFA potentials is too repulsive over the bulk molecular region, causing the 4-6 eV upshift of the orbital levels. A better approximation to the response potential is called for, rather than just the derivative that arises from existing LDA or (meta-)GGA energy density approximations. Indeed, replacing the LDA/GGA response part of the potential with the approximate response potential from ref. 321 (a local potential determined from nonlocal input) already improves the orbital energy spectrum a lot. Better approximations to the Kohn-Sham potential of course also improve response properties such as (hyper)polarizabilities and excitation energies. Note that this improvement is not primarily an effect of the correct asymptotic behaviour since the orbital energies are mostly determined by the potential in regions where the orbitals have a large amplitude (i.e., the region where the bulk molecular density resides). Obviously, the accuracy of the DFA potential has been lagging far behind that of the energy. It needs to be improved, preferably in a more fundamental way than by pragmatically admixing some percentage of a nonlocal exchange potential.
