Problem is power. Each of those plates is a heatsink. You probably want to minimize the aluminum and just get the air redirected and spread out a bit, so's you can stick the heat gun in there sideways and be able to work on the board without a dedicated table/microscope/rework equipment without burning yourself with hot air or starting a fire. It doesn't have to be perfect. You most often will be working on one small area of the board.
The accuracy complaint is a hoot. Doesn't matter, unless you have a cookbook specifically for your board and procedure.
If you want a pro-grade do-it-all tool, but even better than what's out there, it would sure help to start by buying a pro-grade tool and actually using it. Starting in a vacuum, you can guess all you want. If you need something to get a specific job done, and that's it, you would know better than anyone else.
