Teensy = ATmega32u4.. ; ) The main reason to use it is to keep everything through hole. And with a Teensy it's a bit tricky to get the USB lines down on the PCB, unless you do a similar hack to the ErgoDox of course.
I know that thats the chip used on the Teensy, what I meant was that the chip should go directly on the board. Just like the GH60  :p

Putting the controller on a daughter board let's you use any one you like, and that is a good thing. I also don't want to break the through hole pattern of the project =) And also if the Teensy is discontinued, it's always possible to build something similar yourself. And I don't feel like spending time on building the circuit... And as of now, the interface is by 2 connectors, no soldering the Teensy directly onto the main board.

If there is logic for 24 columns, why not make it 24 columns?...

I will support whatever layout you chose and try to grab a piece. :)

How about this?  The RH column above the arrows is re-labelable.  The dual blank 1.75 keys combine to be a space bar.  No stabilizers are used in this design.

I like keyboards and case modding.  Everything about a computer should be silent -- except the KEYBOARD!

Looking nice, are you still considering a break-off-able 4x6 keys to get a tkl and a numpad?
