Little late in getting in on this discussion on the Thickmc rear sets... But since I designed the Thickmc rear sets, thought I should say something... Hopefully future readers of this thread will be able to make their own decision...
Some of our models do have a somewhat limited amount of usable positions. It's rare to find anyone who couldn't utilize one of the "stock" positions we built in as standard though, it's really a matter of playing with position options to find one that will do the job.
When designing our units we looked at all the varieties of units available, then tested, tested, tested. In the end we decided to concentrate on gaining more "throw" with the leverage arm, since the distance traveled to complete a shift was substantial with our original arm. Lengthening the leverage arm, helps to keep your toes off the pavement.
We do have other models that do offer smaller or more increments of adjustments, but those were only added because of the shape of the arm design itself, (for example in our Miss Thick model we are using on our bike see photo below), so mounting hardware wouldn't rub parts of the rear sets.
I'm attaching a couple of photos of the rear sets mounted up and functional, we'd be willing to bet it would be difficult to find a more difficult mounting position than we ran into when hooking our brake linkage setup directly to the Harley master cylinder mounted on our bike!
That mounting method we used was definitely one of those- what the heck was I thinking when I did it that way moments!
