I think I said what I said, than 32p does not save space, because I'm used to designing side-by-side CIM gearboxes. This makes 32p impractical, because you need a minimum center-to-center distance of 2.56 inches anyway.
Sure, but only for that one usage case (2+ CIMS on a single gearbox).

If you're using non-CIM motors, or only 1 CIM, you can realize those gains.
