Looks good. Just not seeing it being better.

Looks like you have short servo arms sending the same mechanical advantage (rotation in degrees) that a normal tray would have with the same tiller arm. It all computes out in the end.

Advantage: not matching servo travel.
Disadvantages: loosing efficency in over coming the sliding tray friction and redundancy.

Sry, I look at stuff like this for a living.
