Shouldn't you add the distance center of vertical rotation to camera base to that distance.....you would have shot the nadir with a camere raised about 10 cm's above the merlin if the camera base was invisible(now that would be something the Kolor boys should come up with
).

In testing, it's take 3min 6sec from start to the last shoot for 4@-15+2@40 90dg op

My understand, and I may be mistaken, is that none of these is going to make the mount very significantly faster.
If you want a significantly faster robotic pano head for shooting spherical panos you need to spend much more - the most versatile faster alternatives are probably the upcoming Panoneed from T&C and the Seitz VRDive 2.In testing, it's take 3min 6sec from start to the last shoot for 4@-15+2@40 90dg op
That sounds like a long time - perhaps I haven't undertood your shooting pattern and number of shots - can you spell it out in more detail?
It sounds like rather more images that I would have expected to be required shooting witha Canon 5DMkII with a shaved 8mm Samyang fisheye lens.
I'm also wondering why you chose a robotic pano head gfor shooting spehrical panos with such equipment?
A manual pano head would have provided a much smaller nadir foiotprint and been quite fast to operate. Robotic pano heads provide most advantage when shooting higher res. (typically partial) panos with longer focal length lenses where many tens or hundreds of shots are required to cover the scene.

I was try combinations with 3 shots at 0dg, 4 shots at 0dg... There is problem with zenith (small black hole). So I was experiment with few combinations. Since I could not make with the Merlin zenit photo (mechanical limitations), I decided to do 2 'semi zenit' phots.
I own Manfrotto 303PLUS panoramic head to, which I used for cylindrical panoramas. The plan is to get a light Nodal Ninja 3 or 4 head and replace heavy, accurate but impractical Manfrotto.
