Your consideration of not combining PV and capacitors is correct at this moment. The same aplies to the choice of beryllium anodes vs laser guided plasma conduits. Any untested or unavailable technology will only delay the development of a Fusion reactor NOW!!. On that basis y completely agree for a medium sized device. It will be inevitable in a very near future to miniaturize the FF and this will require a second generation device like you mentioned.
An initial 5 MW device would have immediate use placed in the low tension substations transformers to power lets say a couple of blocks in a residential area or a building, chopping off the power plants and medium tension lines in the way.
If we downsize FF to a 400 kw you would have a power for a modern house located far from the power grids, opening new real states location in today’s waste lands, creating gardens, were we now have deserts, frigid landscapes, or seabeds, chopping off the land value to only a fraction of the housing cost.
But downsize it to half of this and you can power a big SUV or, why not, a small personal flying chopper, cutting of the cost of building and maintaining highways, bridges and roads not to mention the trafic jams. We just let the 3D GPS devices create and negotiate the airways as we need them.
As we see all this mouth watering dreams rely on a small, clean and long lasting power device. with more than 80 millions cars produced each year, don’t you think the automakers wont be willing to undertake the development costs, and so the real state developers and government agencies and….you do the math. It will just happen.

Regarding the business model, LPP is not the kind of organization to provide manufacture of any kind (Device or Fuel) and certainly not to provide servicing. A 5-8% license is more than reasonable both as return for the value of the creation of FF power generation and a stimulus to other entrepreneurs to further develop the limitless marketing of such hardware.
