Ok, but how does adding a second azimuth motor make a real mechanical
difference?  Seems to me that the bending is occuring above the azimuth
platform and adding a thousand azimith motors around the rim will not
change things.  Now if the central bearing has some slop, then that's
different, but judging from their structural design, I don't see that. 
That's where I am confused.
