"without benefit of an Actual Idler Mechanism "

and what benefit would that be?

"no new motor... pre-existing directdrive motor"

The Verus motor, housing and controller are all new. Yes, it's the same type of motor (multi-phase synchronous) as we use in the Certus turntable and we use the same methodology to drive the motor. But that is where the similarities end. The motors themselves are vastly different. Not that it really matters. Leveraging on existing technology when appropriate seems like a good idea to me. Why re-invent the wheel and by so doing drive up the cost to consumers.

With Verus a key part of the design is the very low cogging motor. With all of the noise about rim drive this point seem to be getting lost. Belt direct and rim drive are all old ideas. But the motor technology used in the Certus and Verus motors is both new and unique. And yes, the RD costs for this technology were significant.
