Pulling any cable or conductor in more then one direction at a time will introduce at least some difficulty.
When someone is pulling on one end a second person better be pushing instead of pulling on the other end
Loaded question. Use MC-AP and listed boxes with MC Yokes inside. Use receptacles and switches with self grounding clips and I wouldn't have a problem with only about a 10% increase in labor. Using standard MC products but having proper boxes that are applicable to the stud application with the MC yokes and you should be able to get away with 50%. In my opinion, the 2 times more is thinking of boxes, connectors, mudrings and all the other things associated with higher end commercial. The biggest issue will be the learning curve and acquiring the right material. a homeowner is not going to go down to Home Depot and pick up the right stuff for a good MC install.
