I think what Mart is saying here is you can't just look at the accel/decel term. When you accelerate the bobweights to a higher speed, there is a higher centrifugal (centripetal? I'm not smart enough to know the difference) force pulling the thing down due to the m-omega^2 thingy, and less centrifugal force pulling it up due to the lower rotational speed on top. Or whatever m is called for rotational inertia, I forget. I think this is what denies us the free lunch.
But, If I'm wrong, then I think they could program the automatic vibration control on the S92 and make the payload limited only by the structure of the floor.
