Once again, thanks for the ideas! Given other priorities and troubleshooting, we called in an order for the analog version as noted here

We used the analog version of the MAE3 on robots in 2007-2009 with very good success, including a prototype swerve drive we built in the off-season.

And it works beautifully, variances below 1%. Would've liked the detail of the digital one, but working beats detail, at least for now!
Once we get through the competition this year, we'll do some exploratory work on this, because I'd really like to get to a working and stable solution for people to use as an AbsoluteEncoder or some such thing.
