Looks very good. And I think both those caveats can be handled to a large degree in page design -- it's nice to have the choice now!
I like Stefano's and Georg's suggestions, too in terms of lessening the abruptness of the transitions. Another thought might be, rather than removing the facet items entirely, they could be faded but still visible -- that way each facet always takes the same amount of space. Thanks!
