I did the mods right at the start so I can't compare it to anything. They run smoothish and seize up a little every now and again which require a little force to keep moving. It's not so smooth I can turn it all with one or two fingers - it needs a whole hand on the central cog.
I am exactly in the same situation.
I just fixed mine and its much smoother now.
Try this:
1. Rotate the central gear until you find a stiff spot. Hold it there with one hand.
2. Check all the outer gears for movement (with the central gear fixed still and jiggle each small gear to see if there's any side-to-side play).
I found there was one gear which had no movement at that position (all the friction was there)
3. Pop the stuff gear (put something over the cog to stop the pin flying off under the couch like mind did!)
4. File the hole a little more.
5. Refix.
6. Repeat as necessary. For me it was only one gear.
Hope this helps.
