COTS vs. Custom Telescoping

What are people’s thoughts on just rotating a COTS elevator for the same effect? Seems easy enough to make the TTB elevator and rotate it on a pivot.

Ri3D Cranberry alarm is doing this. Seems like a center pivot may have a little less torque on it/be easier to deal with. You could also make the elevator narrower, and probably get this to look more like a Pink arm, without all of the difficult rigging.
