This was indirectly addressed in the discussion between CW and I above; the short answer is that there is no point. The GY6 is tried and true, as are the many other suggestions. While wrenching in itself isn't some esoteric mystery, the motivation to do so can be.
I use this hobby as a practical means for honing machining skills. I find thrill in the chase, and my ideas do not necessarily follow the path of least resistance (e.g. the dio-reed-block adapter - just buy the TrickMetric + MLM setup if you crave instant gratification).
Some just want to "slap a kit on it" and be done - and that's fine; read the wikis, search the forums, write down your log-in info, enjoy your stay at hotel-du-MA. Others enjoy the means as much, if not more than, the ends, and will start living out of said hotel. Try some half-baked idea. Make that part fit. Inspire us. Squat in that empty room.
