My question is whether I should bother designing the stud like other studs

Hmm.  I don't have any Primo parts handy, so I've got to throw out a
basic question.  Isn't the inside of the Primo stud actually hollow?  If
we made a Primo stud that was subject to studline'ing, that would leave
a huge hole in the Primo parts, right?

That would be bad.

So I'd say you should just model the Primo stud as a regular primitive,
using your "simplified approach".  Call it babystud.dat or something. :)

Yes, the stud is hollow.  The studline substitution would leave a hole 56
(or at least 48) LDU across... big enough to fit a microfig-scale capital ship.
