Yeah those encoders are from the same company, and have the same excellent resolution. BUT the pins output PERPENDICULAR to the metal face of the encoder. If you look closely in the picture you can kinda see this. For the design discussed in this thread they wouldn't work.

I know we'll be getting as many as we can of these regardless, because they are still awesome encoders, even if we are limited to putting them on the end of a shaft.
