Good points.

One thing I'd like to have on a new main would be a
way to get the sail down farther when it was flaked.

I hate pile ups in the track.

You are planning to purchase a new mainsail.

Aside from cut and materials, what other design
factors should you talk about with your sailmaker?
I'd be asking questions about loose/shelf foot. Reefing points, chafing
patches, headboard, battens (location, length), cars, roach, leech line
location, cunningham cringle, flattening reef, and finally, after delivery
service.
