Completely agree with that path. Would be curious to see comparisons, if you are whiling to share that info.

I have used SIA lib very mildly... and I used the previous Storj version... not yet the new one that I am testing serving and wanting to test a private network for research reasons with where I work for. IPFS might have like you said other advantages but not at the scope I am looking for...

Nice to see new options being tested...
