It definately has that sexy factor. I love the ability to withstand a chain break too. Personally, the weight outweighs the robustness in my mind.

This design reminds me a bit of a 448 module from AM
We will look for the WCP gears. This shifter is for our practice bot. So we could probably order some for the final version.
