twice the components per cylinder
As I see it, the design replaces a 4-stroke 4-cylinder with a 2-stroke 2-cylinder (with two 'helper' cylinders). The component count really doesn't change, just the manifolding.

I suspect there may be issues with the fixed crankshaft offset having a non-linear effect at varying rotational speeds.
