If you felt really brave, you could try putting an equal amount of regular styrofoam (or whatever you used) across the wall instead of the QRD and see what that does.

I wouldn't, though. It works. Be happy.

When you were building the QRD, did you put pieces of wood across the bottom of each well between the dividers, or is that just foam at the bottom ? I have seen them built both ways with nary a mention of why one would or would not do it.

I may have to make one of these as a winter project. With a bit of luck (and some really big-ass hinges) I could turn it into a pair of double-pane shutters for the big window that makes up most of my front wall.

Thanks very much for posting your work and your results. It's a real help for anyone trying to achieve similar results, and probably a great source of amusement for the ones who are not.
