When I do something in is a different way there is usually a good reason, like supporting non-admin installation or providing a more reliable detection of applications.
Of course the scripts also have to fit in the framework that supports automatic downloads and the generation of different installers from a single set of scripts. Your installer uses different nsi files for the small and complete installer, while the official one creates both using the same scripts. This makes maintenance easier and prevents problems.
If you don't understand something please tell what the problem is, otherwise I'm not able to help.
