How are you planning to read the paddles? Any interest in my four-player paddle routine?

Haven't planned it out yet but would love to see them! Thanx

I've switched to a 2LK. If this gives me 26-32 cycles I'll try out your routines.

I would think that you could probably get by with reading the paddles in the central portion of the screen, if you do so at single-line resolution. This would certainly be true if, on alterate frames, you release the paddles just above or just below the top players' shields (paddles near the middle of their range would be readable on both even and odd frames; those near one end or the other would be readable on half the frames).
