Default Edge elevator location (revisited)

O.K. guys, I've searched and read all the old posts on this topic, but I never did hear from anybody that actually mounted the elevator servos in the lower location (old Edge kit) and turned the servo arms up. I am just starting on my second Edge (yes, it is the old style with two sets of cutouts above/below each other) and I remembered on my first kit, the geometry of the elevator linkage was not ideal. It sure looks like if I mount my servos in the LOWER bays and use a 1 1/4" servo arm pointed UP that I will get near perfect geometry. The only possible issue I can see is interference with the rudder pull/pull cables, but on my original edge (with the servos in the TOP bay and arms pointing DOWN) they crossed over the pull/pull cables anyway without any issues. PLEASE can someone clear this up for me (and any others interested) once and for all? Thanks for any help/experience you may be able to provide!!!!

Regards,
