Peter,
I favoured the DSBS simply as it worked with most scopes, not just the one I had at the time, or required it to work with at the time. It was almost future-proof.
Obviously the rings, with either another plate above, or additional rings would be ideal.
One other thought I have had is similar to that which I believe Tak came up with.
It is a square mounting plate with two slotted holes to allow the direct attachment to the Tak mounts, but with left/right adjustments for the weight which sits to one side.
On that side is a slightly angled dovetail that accpts another smaller Tak refractor. I did have a picture but have lost it. I WILL find it.
Mick is indeed a machinist: He is well know here.
You need a Losmandy dovetail rail, and two Losmandy saddles. I swear by mine, and I am sure after I drop it on my toe I will swear at it. It is heavy, but very functional.
