I like the CIM mounts. That's a very compact way to do it.
I guess It would be the weight savings.

I'm not really a fan of the same 4 bolts holding the gearbox together, the motors on and the gearbox to whatever structure it is mounted to. No matter what, that is going to make assembly and mounting a much bigger pain that it needs to be. I'll agree it cuts down on parts and weight, but I don't think it's worth it.
