Multiple forms for Editting an ItemType

I have extended the OOTB Part ItemType to include >30 attributes. The attributes are generally dimensions and characteristics of the instantiated Part.

I wish to allow the user to edit and view the Part using two (or more) Views. All users have the same identity group, so the form cannot change based on identify (ItemType Views' Identity property). Similarly a different Class cannot be used, as the Part ItemType is common for all uses. The documentation states 'If more than one Form is qualified for a particular situation the Form with the highest priority will be displayed'

The first form would show some common editable fields (description, owner), and all the fields relating to, for example, the dimensions of the object (packing dimensions, storage dimensions, usage dimensions).

The second page/form would display the common fields, and all the fields relating to, for example colors of the part.

The user could switch between the two forms by selecting the (1) or (2) radio button,. Once 'Save' or 'Save, Unlock and Close'has been selected, the Part is updated with the field values taken from both pages. If one of the common attributes is updated, then the most recent entry is saved.

Any suggestions?
