My only issue is that the front FAO is "missing" a hole.  On setups when the front is low, I have to use blocks because the top hole is too high and the next hole is too low.  I know "drill holes" which I will do "someday".
I am curious about the back FAO because it is completely different from the others.

     Drilling another hole wouldn't be a bad idea, but like you I just use blocks.  Don't need them often.
     The back outrigger can, under some situations, be too high.  That one has a lot of travel.  Normally, even if it seems too high, once you've moved the head to the front it will go down enough to not be an issue.

I always carry a handfull of falling wedges to adjust out riggers and a loose leg can be tightened up quickly. My Cooks mill uses a fine ajust type of out rigger but it has issues with slipping.
with a substantial difference in price to replace, it would need to be a ease of use to sell me on them.
