I honestly prefer that the droid factory action sequence was removed entirely. The use of the deleted scene involving Padmé meet with Dooku definitely helped things flow much better. The droid factory sequence was an afterthought by George Lucas while he was on a conveyor belt and decided to shoot the scene after the film was story boarded (it was added in later, but after they shot the scene). The only reason why they added it in was because they didn’t think the film had that much action in it. Mike J. Nichols even comments on this in his commentary to Attack of the Phantom where the Obi-Wan and Jango Fett chase through Geonosis’ ring was added in last minute as well.
