Lets start with equipment: The lift and power unit will be Canton Cantilever roped hydro, 3 stop, 150fpm, 3 phase. In a residence with a custom birdcage cab (Biltmore Estate replica) and residential hall doors (custom).
Commercial equipment to meet the clients speed requirements.40-70 fpm was unacceptable.
Fixtures will be CJ Anderson vintage style possibly with hall dial indicators, cab will have Porta gate operator for accordion gate, Standard residential locks 2 wire.
Basically a hybrid of residential and commercial. This may or may not have a cartop inspection station. The finished product is very cosmetic

Controller equipment is about to be ordered. Whats your vote/ input?
1. Smartrise V2 hydro controller
2. Virginia controls MH 3000

The old school guys will go for VC all day. Its all hardwired and simply works. My only reasoning against this is the more hatch wiring components and larger selector and Tape w/ magnets.

Smartrise is the way I'm leaning. Simply as I stated above; hatching wiring is minimal, selector more discreet, only 2 boards(easy to keep a spare on hand).

The better the effort, the better the result.
