my problem is not really on how to create the attributes.. i kind of already solved that. (coping atributes from one product to other, create script to generate attributes.. whatever)

the problem is that if i stick to zen (or osc) origininal structure, i will have 260+ options for each product, all repeated.

Which makes operation on products very slow, as each time i do something on products, this will stress the db a lot.

what i am talking about is ANOTHER way of storing/handling options, more then just a smart way to add attributes on the current system.
