Steph, I know it's a scarey ordeal (went thru it myself last summer) but you sound informed and really to accept the challenge. Cyber knife might be prefereable from a patient comfort point of view, but like you, it is not performed in my area and I decided in favor of dealing with local drs I liked and trusted. Only word of advice (from a needle phobic person as I am) I would recomment having a couple of Ativan up front to help ease you thru the halo attachment process. That spooked me a bit and having something take the edge off helps. Your spots sound very similar in size and location to mine, 1 of which is gone now and the other almost gone. I think stereotactic surgery is a wonderful option, but we must be vigilant and catch these lesions early enough for it to be appropriate.
Good luck to you...you'll be glad you did it after it's over!
Jackie
