"Once the collapse starts, for whatever reason you choose, the time it takes for the collapse to be completed is dependent on gravity."
No it isn't. In CD it is dependent on gravity. In a "natural" collapse it is dependent on gravity and resistance from lower floors.

"Also, CD charges are usually placed near the bottom of the structure to allow the most weight to come to bear."
There is no actual reason why the bombers could not have set off the higher charges first. Have you considered the possibility that they might have been cunning enough to try to disguise their crime?

"Any analysis of the tower collapse shows them starting to collapse where the planes impacted."
But NIST claims the south side of the North Tower collapsed first, not the north side, where the plane impacted.
