Can the Servo lib be made to control more than 12 servos per timer? Maybe!

You are mistaken, second library puts a servo on any pin, upto 20 pins - 18 is more pratical though as it allows you to keep serial comms - no additional hardware required.

For the other library, the additional chip costs about 30 cents, a bargain for so many servos from so few pins.
