Believe me, if I run across one I'll definitely grab it! My F-R switch is mounted up front at my knee, so you can see how much heavy cable I could save having a reversing contactor near the controller! I considered this when I was figuring out the cost of upgrading the high current cables. I will need almost 25' of cable just for the F-R switch, if I leave it where it is now! I'm going to start my upgrade with new cables as everything else will depend on them! Thanks for mentioning the contactor, because it is a good idea, even though expensive.
