Sounds like we have tried close to all the same things, but I have one slight variation:
Rather than use the Giant Clutch Steerer tool, I use the Giant Clutch Fork Core storage with a 25g CO2 cart and inflator. Then I have the EnCase Tool and Plug system in both bar ends. This allows the use of a K Edge Gravity Cap mount for my Garmin.
I'll be the first to admit that the EnCase tool is a compromise to the OneUp tool (the One up tool offers more leverage and there is no risk of dropping a bit) and the EnCase plug kit is a compromise compared to the Dynaplug (I've used the mega plug to seal a sidewall where bacon wouldnt suffice) and the Giant inflator is a compromise to the G2 and Blackburn variants I have used. It is, however, the only combo I could come up with that keeps from having to store CO2 externally and keeps from having to mount a computer to the bars, where it is more out front and exposed.
