This seems like a very impressive arm. Very outside-the-box thinking. But honestly, you have to give up on the string lift. It really just cheapens the look and takes away the fact that this is now, in fact, a consumer ready product, vs a diy exercise. And I understand you find the string easy to use, but sometimes sacrifices must be made for aesthetics. Sticking with just the normal lift is definitely the way to go.
I have been watching the development of this arm for some time, as with you I found the string lift a bit of a turnoff but with time as well as feedback from users that have found string to be a good method as a finger lift I am now actually excited about it. Change is often hard to accept but if the string works better than an arm lift then I am game to give it a go!
