Hi Darrel,
Great to know that at least your barber wouldn't be out of business. We all try to enhance our designs cause the customer may not know the possibilities of the system, and for me every project has some or other emotional attachment too. More $$$$= more emotions...
BTW if you remove the rectification, filtration and still read the voltage (half cycle) you can determine the zero cross programatically. Also in most cases if your input is not AN3 you already have the option of determining zero-cross in some way or the other. Cin+, Cin-, INT. Not very precise though.
