Jon,
I'm building a new house and am giving careful consideration to the garage. You seem to have experience with some of the products I'm looking at, so I have some questions.
Why do you have the 45 degree tracks when you have either the WD I-drive or the LM equivilents? I thought the whole purpose of those units, which mount above the door on the wall (rather in the middle of ceiling back where the tracks end) was so that you could run the tracks all the way to the ceiling and thereby loose only a few inches of ceiling height with the door open.
The 45 degree set up will gain you some height clearance as you get away from the door, but you still loose the same amount of clearance as you get closer to the door as you would with a standard door/opener set up. The 45 degree arrangements also still lose substantial ceiling clearance even at the back of the tracks because they are not mounted right up against the ceiling. The standard opener hangs down, as well, also causing loss of clearance.
