Super interesting article - well done.

Why do you need R12? It seems like it could hurt performance.

Very nice write-up on your transistor load. I understand your concerns in regards to the MOSFET, but usually with plenty of gain, the op-amp (or in your case the transistors) will take up the slack and keep the MOSFET biased to provide the necessary load current.

Nicely done!
