I just want to say that I also have a Cobra class 4 with EPS and I've never really looked at the travel of the actuator before you brought it up in your thread. I looked at the one on my machine and it's the same movement as the one in your YouTube video. I think it's due to the fact that I have experience using a clutch machine I find the Cobra easy to use. As a caveat, I did move a lot of stuff around under the machine, but I don't think that changed the throw of the motor actuator.
I hope the Cobra works out for you as I've seen some of your work and it looks great.
