Having been there for the design discussions for this, I can assure you that our first few drafts were every bit as awkward/unsatisfying as whatever you had . It took quite a while (and input from four or five people) to get to a version of the design that we liked.

Peter, great job with this. Really. One of the best designs you've CADed, I wish I were half as good at this as you are.
