The actuation can be really cleaned up if you switch to a pancake cylinder and just push the module down (there is some sliding contact). 3928 did this on their 2013 butterfly, and we ripped it off for our version.

Then just use some spring force to pull it up.
I'd also like to give it a butterfly drive try and put the omnis on both sides. Then you have the ability to drop either side, or both.

Do you have pictures of the method with the pancake cylinders you are talking about?

I can't take credit for this either, one of our other members cadded this up.
