Rocketman-- If you don't care very much what it looks like--at my age beauty has long since ceased to be an issue unless it belongs to someone else--there is a way to deal wih a couple of your issues:
1. More or less permanently install the 510/ego converter. This has a few benefits--
a) protects the battery threads from wear
b) raises the GS Air or other tank so that fingers don't block airflow
c) moves the center of gravity up a bit, which makes it a little more comfortable for me. (maybe not for normal folks)
I use a truncated cone "beauty ring" from an old Kanger tank to minimize the awkward appearance and keep me from doing clumsy damage. There have been no issues with center pin contact.
You can try this for private home use, and do something more stylish in public. For me, "in public" usually involves a wood splitter and sawdust, so cosmetics are not a priority.
