Okay, how about another mod? I put a round rod in the middle of each face. So to turn the face, I twist the rod. The rods do not carry any color information so the colors are the same. They're just there to make it easier to turn (like the ridges). Would that be legal?

Would that actually make turning easier? I feel like anything like that couldn't be better than the speed that can be achieved with actually gripping onto the layers like normal
 
I don't know if it would make turning easier or not. I would think it might help on stuff like R2.

But my question is not whether or not it's faster. I'm wondering if it's legal.

A similar modification is to take the 2x2x2 and make the pieces a little smaller so there are gaps between them. Then extend the inner ball to the outside so you can grip it. Now you can hold the 2x2x2 on the centers like you would the 3x3x3. I can see how that would improve times. Same for the 4x4x4.
