Do you have water cooling, by any chance? Those cooling tubes on the Simplex get routed over the intermittent and come VERY close to the shutter.
As to Christie...I've been in a single complex, doing studio screenings and had mix of both shutters.
Mark, you seem to look at the things that interest you and ignore the rest. The Simplex shutter cuts the aperture nearly square...the same can not be said of non-conical shutters, period. While, yes the smaller cone of light that Christie is cutting does go towards their efficientcy, I have yet to find that the single-wing Christie is as light efficient as either the DP70 or the Simplex...but more on the order of Century. However, as the shutter moves closer to the film plane, the shutter also moves into the focal point of the lens and will have a more pronounced flicker to come with it...you can even see it with Simplex as compared to Century...that is Simplex has a pulsation to its image that Century does not.
As to DCinema...sure it is coming in at the moment but it does not negate the issues of film in the present day. I, for one, am still installing mostly film systems with video augmentation.
