I've been looking at the Sturmey-Archer FDD Dyno/Drum hub too... and I have a sneaky suspicion that they may use more Shimano parts than we know of.
I see that Sturmey uses the same electrical connectors as the Shimano DH-3N71 and -3N80 hubs... I really wonder about whether they share the same bearings too. If so, that makes the Sturmey FDD hub a great deal...
