The only Windows in my house let in the light, so ARTA won't be a solution for me. I've tried several schemes for running Windows software on a Mac, and made it work, but I don't enjoy the experience.
I did come across this YouTube video on Erin's Audio Corner. He goes into a bunch of detail on how he uses his Klippel device. I found it useful primarily because it makes it a bit easier to see how the commercially available system works, and provides some sense of its dimensions.
I'm leaning toward just V-rollers and V-slot aluminum extrusion for the vertical degree of freedom. I don't think micron-level precision is necessary, so it would be nice to keep the weight and cost down. The rod whipping I referred to occurs even when the rod is constrained at the two ends, and by the moving nut. But in the video linked above the Klippel system seems to move pretty slowly so it would likely be sufficient to just keep the motor speeds low. Acme threads would certainly be easier to implement than many of the other options.
