We do the 7/16" step down as well (thanks adam!) and we love it. But the sprocket side is 1/2" hex.

I can see why its 7/16" on both sides as you can just buy precision 7075" (1/2" round) and just hex the portions you'd like vs machining everything down from a larger size. Is that the reasoning?

Exactly. .500 PG 7075 round. Mill the hexes, done deal.
