Feature Request for speedy dual nozzle size printing

When trying to print with two extruders, one with a nozzle of 0.3 mm and the other with a nozzle of eg. 0.8 mm diameter, in order to achieve a significant gain in printing speed when eg printing Nylon gears (by printing the very fine teeth with the 0.3 mm nozzle and the rest of the large gear with the 0.8 nozzle), I miss some very important options in Simplify 3D that could "simplify" this scenario very much:

1. Per-proces layer settings - the number of outer perimeters especially should be independently editable IMO.
2. Per-proces speed settings
3. Placement of the prime tower - now eg when printing a large circle-shaped object the prime tower is placed far beyond the imaginative square that encompassed the circle. A prime tower that can interactively be moved around would be very nice.
or
3. Assigning an arbitrary 3d shape (STL file) as prime tower for a certain extruder.
4. Prime tower skirt - when using a skirt, the prime tower also gets a skirt - It would be nice if this could be an option (on / off)


Looking forward to reactions,

Kind regards,
Tinkerman.
