Grin... I can relate.  But you will no doubt find a solution.  I would 
like to offer the following bits of thought.

1.  You can always start by doing the easy stuff... Mclube the balance 
rail and front rail pins... and in general do what you can for friction 
and regulation issues to see how far that takes you.
2.  Before you get into moving any parts, or changing weights... do a 
quick 10 key sample using Stanwood measurements. That can tell you a lot.
3.  Dont move the geometry of the action around unless you have done the 
above.

Good luck... and I am sure we others would be interested in hearing what 
you end up deciding on.

Cheers
