     Rich, 
     With your regulators mounted perpendicular to the normal way, did you 
     need to make any modifications to the hose configurations to prevent 
     sharp bends or kinks?  I recall that at TEK you showed me a rig that 
     used Scubapro Mk 10 first stages.  The Mark 10's have pretty good 
     mounting options.  Was that enough, or do you use an elbow connector?

 I positioned the valves so that the knobs faced forward, not to the 
sides.  
 I found with the knobs facing forward I could reach them MUCH easier 
than when they faced sideways (without the need to loosen any harness 
strapps -- I could just reach back and turn them).  Also, for the cave 
divers, you don't have to worry about rolling a valve off on the ceiling 
of a cave.
