Trying to decide if the central core is one, ,two, three or four tubes.

One obvious question to ask yourself, then, is how much effort you want to invest in problems that are unique to the core and won't appear in the larger configurations. If the answer is "not much", you probably want three or four tubes in the core, so you can use the same control methods for it as for the bigger bundles. Not having to do single-tube roll control opens up the control options considerably, especially if you don't have to do both pitch and yaw in a single-tube configuration either (which permits, e.g., differential throttling or single-axis gimbals).

More later, gotta go.
