Rob says that with a little practice you can get it so the mid-span doesn't vary from assembly to assembly. However, I expect to have to make a minor tweak to the derailleurs after each assembly.

I totally agree! I'm hopeful that one of the two will eventually produce a triple FD, but don't expect it for a couple more years. I figure that Shimano will be working on Di2 for mountain bikes next. Hopefully that will push them to develop a triple FD.
