It's missing the option to add spring loaded tensioners between the carriages and the effector.

The effector doesn't use a piezo for the nozzle contact sensor, it uses a strain gauge. We built a prototype using a piezo as well, but the strain gauge version is easier to manufacture.

Strain gauges have a lot of advantages but ease of use by the uninitiated is not one of them. For almost any beginning or intermediate RepRap builders your effector would be a PFM box* - buy, use and don't try to understand - same like smartphone.

I suspect most beginning reprappers have a few internet search skills: [en.wikipedia.org]
What is it about a strain gauge that you don't understand?

Are we taking pcb effectors or strain gauges? Pcb effector and carriages will be £45 plus VAT plus shipping according to Dc42. Which makes it pretty good value, if you have a delta with magball arms, and presuming they work as well as the beta testers say they do. I'll buy one for sure. I'm not sure we will sell any Piezo20 modules to delta owners now, but kits and systems for any/all other printers will still be quite viable.

I must apologize for my half a$$ed comment about it.
I mixed my own bad experience with piezos signal/noise ratio and added some assumptions without reading the real product specs.

Ah, you mean Brian's delta. Yes as he was using a different material sleeve.
My drive cable is free standing.
I agree completely with you that peace of mind is important, especially with long prints.
Using a string to keep the magnets attached is one way to feel safe.
