Never used this kind of reference yet. 

What about alternating data (no summary value at bottom row) and
evaluation columns?

| Data 1 | Eval 1 | Data 2 | Eval 2 |

What about moving columns:

Switching two columns from:
| Eval 1 | Eval 2 | foo | bar |
to:
| Eval 1 | foo | Eval 2 | bar |

("foo" and "bar" do not have those formula fields like Eval columns)

Besides the fact that I personally prefer single column
formulas for legibility and maintainability. I had to spend a minute
to understand "@>$<<..@>$> = vsum(@I..@II)" and I am afraid that I
have to re-spend this minute in three weeks when I have to add data
to the table.

So, yes you clearly helped with the example I posted. However, I
have got the feeling that this method is not able to solve my issue
in all cases. I still tend to think that org-table-duplicate-column
would be handy in many cases.
