If I were to buy one of these repro rollers, which I'm fairly confident I will end up doing, I would pay an extra $20 for the "no ear" version.
Do what you want to though, I'm sure you'll sell them all anyways.

Oscar,
Two concerns I have with the proposed designs are optic clearance and overlay mounting.
In looking at the two "finished" designs, and your proposals, I don't see any way to mount them in a wood CP without using a separate mounting plate.
If they are going to require a separate mounting plate anyway, I would think it would be more cost effective to enlarge the existing top plate, and make the screws that hold the top plate to the bottom assembly screw from the BOTTOM UP.
This would allow the mounting plate to be installed BEFORE the roller assembly (similar to a Happ trackball install).
With only the mounting plate installed, people would be able to install their overlay, and then trim the overlay using the mounting plate as a guide, prior to attaching the roller assembly.
My only other concern is that the machining be tight enough to prevent pinch between the roller and top plate.
(My hands still haven't fully recovered from a few late-70's/early-80's Atari Football games).

I would have to agree with that. I have a wood CP, and no plans to get a metal one. This would be of great help to me for installation
