I have never worked on either, but the Heisler's center crankshaft would no doubt be a deal breaker for the mechanics. You can really get tired of sitting in a puddle of greasy water, reaching overhead to work on all of the moving parts all day. Compared to that, standing or sitting on a bucket alongside a Shay's engine must have been a piece of cake.
