CG was one of the points that came up, actually (I forgot about it as I replied to your initial inquiry).

For our climbing mechanism we need as much weight center as possible, so gearboxes at both ends were a barrier.

But otherwise it was less of "we could" than "we could do it given what we have now, or wait to order more parts to perform the same function" so we went with what we had.
