I have attached two more photos of the brake clearance issues - one photo shows a comparison with a 10 mm allen key. For reference, the typical clearance required for the Stages/4iiii/Pioneer PMs is 10 mm, hence I need to be able to fit that 10mm key
This thread could get very messy with different points of view. BB's are so complex as they relate to specific cranks that people are going to misunderstand what is being said. Its like what the guy in the video said about GXP. 90% of the people who install them have no concept of how GXP controls preload.
OP, you are bringing many different cranks now into the mix. We talked about GXP and Shimano and now you are adding more. Each is a bit different that may require different spacing and BB selection..
I hope what I wrote made some sense and if not, perhaps others can help.
Good luck.
