A problem with very thin mirrors, yes?  Does fine tuning angular position,
the height, and line-of-action  of the edge support not solve the problem?

Seems to me that making the mirror too thin, in order to save glass, just
creates lot of support problems for the cell underneath.  Where is the
advantage?
