Probably too late for this proposal but...
This system replaces the Feats necessary for item creation, all other new rules for the actual manufacture could stand.
Why does it take a Caster level 12 character to make a 2,000 gp ring?
Instead of having separate feats to cover Weapons and Armor, Rings, Rods and Wondrous items (i.e. every thing else permanent) Why not set them all as Wondrous items and govern the feats by Power level...
e.g.
Caster Lvl Value limits
Craft Tier 1 items Lvl 5 1 - 8,000 gp
Craft Tier 2 items Lvl 7 8, 001 - 32,000 gp
Craft Tier 3 items Lvl 9 32,001 -72,000 gp
Craft Tier 4 items Lvl 12 72,001 - 128,000 gp
Craft Tier 5 items Lvl 15 128,001+ gp
You would still have separate feats for
Craft Spell Completion Items (Scrolls)
Craft Minor Spell Trigger items (Wands)
Craft Major Spell Trigger items (Staves)
Craft Consumable item (Potions)
