Very well said!! If you listened to everyone's opinion you'd drive yourself mad!!Impossible to answer without knowing more details about your specific situation.
It doesnt matter what me, or any Tom, Dick or Harry thinks, it is you that will have to milk in this unit for the next 20years, so design the unit that you want to milk in.
Im on planning a similar setup to you at the moment, albeit without your previously indicated budget. As an example Ive decided to go for internal feeding with a wide central passage as it suits my situation, namely very exposed site and lots of problems with birds from a neighbouring shoot. Now I know as soon as my grazing discussion group pals set foot inside the new building they will cry 'what a waste of space, could have had another double row of cubicles in here and a few ring feeders '. But it doesnt matter what they think, it is me that has to work in this setup day in day out so it might as well be the setup i want. Dairy farming is stressful enough without working in crap conditions day in day out.
The point im trying to make is that opinions are like ars#holes, everyones got one, so you will drive yourself mad listening to other peoples opinions.
