Figuring Out X dimension with table nest

saildawg

Hello everyone,
This will be my second build of the Naked Whiz plans.  I am now building one as a wedding present for a friend.  My table had ceramic feet, his does not so I am probably going to get the table nest.  From my research the table nest adds 2"in height, vs ceramic feet add 0.75" in height.  I would presume that if I used dimension X @ 17" for my previous build, I should reduce it by 1.25"  (2"-0.75") for the new build with the table nest for an X dimension of 15.75".  The only thread I could fine was this one

The OP suggested using and X dimension of 16.5" but I can figure out why and his egg looks way too high in the table for my liking.  Any thoughts?  I cant use trial and error cause his egg is 60+ miles away and I have to drive the table there.  Thanks in advance

Open the lid and measure from the bottom of the hinges (open) to the base of the egg.  Reduce that amount by 2" for the nest (or you can buy the ceramic feet for the Primo on amazon here https://www.amazon.com/Primo-Ceramic-Grill-Shoes-Set/dp/B00CM8UT4A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475528950&sr=8-1&keywords=ceramic+feet

Did you ever figure out the dimension?  I was waiting to assemble my egg post getting the table finished and I have the same question.
