I feel your comment about BIAB so much. To me, BIAB was more work than investing in and using a false bottom. I feel like I can trust that process, I had to constantly supervise my brew bag.
In our case it is issue of quantity, we have 40l batches and it is too much for one person to pull the bag/manipulate with pots.
We have false bottom pot on lift and it isn't ideal but still much better than BIAB. It needs some work/ new pot for heating (we got the induction heater for free) and because the bottom valve is bad.
After trying/helping some friends with their systems I think that our setup is maybe the best you can have.
