Installed the addons, configured and tried it out. Here's how it currently looks:

At first look the Fast Updates, with 0.05 refresh timer, looks really cool now, but I might begin to find it too distracting. However, I really like the idea.
I haven't read most pages of this thread, so I'm sorry if some feedback is repeated. Here's some feedback from what I've been messing around:
1- Too many things auto-hide/popout. If I pass my mouse over the addon I get 5 different things showing up:
- Stretch tab: I'd like to disable the little tab that pops up, since the functionality is there by dragging the title bar.
- Bar highlight: When you mouseover a bar it highlights the bar. I'd love an option to turn this off.
- Lock/Unlock text: I'm currently using the AddonSkins embed option, so I have no need for it. I think this option could simply be another button in the title bar. I see no need for it to be a separate text option, in particular in that position (behind the bars). This would also enable me to simply turn off the button.
EDIT: Found out I can disable it on the "disable resize buttons" option
- Avatar/Nicknames: Personally, it's not visually interesting and wish to turn it off.
- Tooltips: I want to customize them. Change that default Banto Bar skin for example.
2- Using shift and ctrl binds for navigation is slightly awkward. This addon seems to mix the navigation styles of Recount, by opening new windows and using tooltips, and Skada, by allowing right/left click navigation in the same window. It is overall a bit messy. A request I'd have here would be to be able to emulate Skada navigation.
3- Micro display customization is not quite there. It doesn't seem to be able to access all fonts. The raid dps display showed different results from the Total bar when trying it out an a dummy with Vivianne (garrison bodyguard). The position of each display can barely be changed.
Concluding, I liked the new features introduced in this addon. However, the navigation could use some customization/improvements and the aesthethics can not be configured to be as clean as I'd like.
Good job on the addon
