Dorian,
I didn't even know my roped soloing post had been turned into an article until your pm, which I haven't had time to answer. But the short answer is, then don't use an Eddy or a grigri for lead roped sologing if that's what you think. That's the essential beauty of roped soloing - people taking responsibility for their own decisions.
I'm still not in a position to respond at any length - I will say that by and large I don't share your concerns other than to say that - regardless of what device - you have to carefully balance rope diameter to the device. I would also be quite amazed if there is more than a handful of folks other than myself using an Eddy for roped soloing, even after reading my article.
In any case, the essential point, which I stressed repeatedly, is that anyone prepared to step up to the plate of roped soloing has to also be prepared to sort out what components and system works for them. The fact that I may or may not do something or do something a particular way for myself should hold no particular weight with anyone else. The article was strictly informational in that regard.
