Delta to Toolchanger -> Core X/Y or H-Bot framekit?

Im just looking at the railcore 2 vs the jubilee for they use linear rails. I like the jubilees way of having the carriages ride on top of the printer. that saves quite some z space.
i also figured i probably can use all my delta frame parts to make a core xy frame, i only need z screws.

you seem to know the jubilee a bit, what would be the reason for the x and y motors to have an extra pulley just before the motor? why not end the belt loop directly on the motors driver pulley?

It reduces the overall depth of the printer while still allowing a good range of belt tension adjustment.

Just so you know a CoreXY is considered to be a superior design in relation to the H-Bot.

Keep your delta intact, unless you have a another printer. You will need it to make parts for your new printer.
