Scott M:
wouldn't the upside tanks keep the hoses from possibly getting cut.
..my poor old head would get cut before my hoses would. The hoses go immediately down and in from the first stage regs. The lp hose from the left crossing over behind my neck to the bungee reg and the lp hose from the right crossing over behind my neck to the wing inflator. The rest of the hoses go straight down and then up under my arms.

Now that gives new meaning to using your head :wink:
 
I've never tried my primary tank in the upside down position, but always dive with my pony bottle that way. Due to some shoulder damage in my early days, I have trouble reaching over my shoulder but can easily reach the pony valve in the upside down position.
