Because imo, it's not as good as the side by side arrangement! Moving your head 
side to side is much easier than up/down, which will give you a stiff neck. I 
believe you should be looking downwards slightly at all units. Ancillary stuff 
like ATUs, antenna switches, etc can be at the next level up, without causing 
strain.


That said of course it is a very individual thing.
