If I am not mistaken, the only issue I have with that tremolo is the spacing. Its 2 and 1/8th, and not 2 and 3/16'ths. Thats why I like the Gotoh unit, although its considerably more expensive.

Thats right. They say the screws spacing should be between 54 - 57 mm, not more not less. The spring spacing is 54 mm. A guy has a strat copy with screw spacing 32.5 mm and had to redrill the wood hole for the round baseplate hole to fit it.
