Angle of o2 hose to solenoid causes strain on quick disconnect.
yes this is true. This can cause inadverdent disconnection (happened to me yesterday). You have to take care to not cause too much shear stress on the Swagelock O2 feed connection.

Not sure if it's a design fault, or a "Gilles' set up" fault.

Perhaps an area that the Meg could benefit, from a human engineering point of view, is that at and near surface the HUD is not very visible. I would be happy to see ISC build a low PO2 (<0.2 only) vibrating warning.
