The valve is not really obscured. It's not as open as it was in the prior configuration but it's not bad.
I intend to dive the pony with the valve wide open at all times. The Hollis 212 second stage appears to have a great dynamic/venturi adjustment.
I read on the DIR site not to use the handle as a handle. I tried it for the heck of it and it stretched a little just doing it once.
As far as the hose routing, that was a careless mistake not tucking the other part of the hose under the elastic band. It does seem like the second stage is held better when the elastic is placed over the handle, rather than under. I'll try it a little more and see what works best.
