Suit inflation bottle positioning

Rather than side track the thread on where to hang your slugs, I thought I'd start a new one re where suit inflation comes from.

I run a dedicated 2l hanging off my backplate (right) bearing in mind I don't dive in the sea and carry only one SMB (if at all). This works on both the Inspo and the Meg (but I need to raise the bottle slightly on the Meg). Because of restriction issues in my favorite cave system, I went this route rather than what seems to be the standard here - to mount the bottle on the side of the Inspo box.

Because there is often He in my dil cylinder, I'd rather not run off that. I see the narked@90 frame has a spot onder the stack for a suit inflation bottle but I still have GI3s rantings about butt mounted strokery in my brain

Always keen to hear other ideas and try what others have found to work (including O2 suit inflaltion which I don't like the sound of)

PS for the record my slugs re 2 x 80s left with a third nose clipped if required and a 7l O2 on the right if it is going along for the swim rather than being staged.
