I agree.  
1) The Solatube system assumes the outside lens, and it is a lens not 
just a clear piece of plastic, is level
and oriented in azimuth.
2) There are remotely operable dampers available for use inside the tube.
3)  There are electric lights available that replace the Sun at night.
4) There are angled joints and extension tubes available, reaching 2 
stories into the building should be no
problem...
