<Stuff Snipped>

I'm a lefty and I must say that I'd not noticed a problem with
the 'conventional' hog rig.

Trout's (I think) suggestion of mounting the cylinders with the 
valve knobs pointing down so that thay can be used by both 
hands is interesting. A good example of 'stating the bleedin' 
obvious, but it would not have occured to me:)'

Are there any equally 'bleedin' obvious' flaws?

I suppose I have to agree with whoever said that having grown up
in a predominantly right handed world, you adapt.  I think in a 
way I find that I'm probably more comfortable using either hand 
than a right-hander.

Have you actually tried it and had problems, or are you 
anticipating a problem which you may find doesn't bother you?

If you were thinking of a complete mirror image then you are 
limited in your choice of second stages.
