I want to build a Mega Tree for 2013. I have run into a bit of a debate as to how I want to build it. I want to use this shape/style of node (PLEASE don't flame me as I am NOT asking for a new firmware to support ws2811):

But I have not found that in a supported protocol. I want to base my tree off of Walter Monkhouse's color motions tree. I think I like how this style would lay on the strapping better.
Have any of you found something like this?
I have found that mega trees and matrix displays look best
A) you have even spacing in both directions
B) get as many strands as you can
C) have the strand as straight as possible
For these reasons
A) I used flex strip, 1.3" between nodes. Perfectly spaced vertically
B) built a half megatee.
C) attached flex strips to 14' emt pipe.
Asa side note, each of my 20 strands has a hook on one end and an eye bolton the other. For 4th of july I will hang them from my roofline to make a vertical matrix. Animated gifs and fireworks look better on matrix than a megatree
