Pointing errors are going to be important, that is clear.
However, before we adress this problem, I think we need to be sure that the
configuration
choice can also handle two (absolutely) unavoidable classes of errors
- thermal noise
- atmospheric phase noise
It is not obvious to me that different configurations will result in the
same behaviour
vis-a-vis these classes of errors (I would even bet the opposite...). This
may turn out
to be important to guide our choice, specially since we know that quite a
number of
projects are going to be sensivitity limited.
Evaluating the response under various noise levels is essential.
