Hi Chris,
                I think you might begin by choosing one of two starting 
points for any design:  either the sparklength you require (if you 
have unlimited power (and money) available or the input power you 
have on hand. The basic spec for a design should tumble out of 
such a  requirement I would think.  Electrum had a similar starting 
point but also had the odd restriction imposed on its physical 
construction by artistic requirements which shouldn't be a 
consideration for you. I'd be interested to hear what others have to 
say.

Regards,
Malcolm
