MATRIX:
As a long-time practicing engineer (now retired) I thrived on a basic principle of KISS (KeepItSimpleStupid). Given that philosophy, is all the complexity going to really gain you anything?? Seems to me a basic Pigott machine extended to the size range of the latest Dan's machine would be a lot less work, and deal with parts readily available off the shelf (ie: hub, bearings, etc.) It would seem to me a route to the power level you a looking for with a lot less risk of some feature not working well enuf over the long run. Just some of my thots.
