hmmm this config might haelp my current setup could save a bit of travelling weight as well lose the inspo maifold and some hoses.

Don't forget to consider what I said about not using the standard APV tank valve since:

If you keep the tank valves perfectly perpendicular from you to protect the reg (will be between tank and scrubber), then it will more difficult to reach the valves.
If you rotate the valves forward by 45-deg for easier access, then the regs are facing 45-deg backward and more awkward to route hose as well as more exposed.
