No, I haven't been able to modify stillwell's post regarding the issue of "multiple variants" and duplicates. But, I am sure there is a way. Although I liked working this very obscure solution of a mod (probably too obscure for most), it did work.
As this basic functionality is coming in 4.1, I am sure we will see a better solution than a CSS-very-strange-hack that I have here. But, glad a couple folks got some use out of it.
