Been there. Done that. :o

I like the chunky Ice Cube look it has regardless of what it does. It's a cool mod to an already solid performing WB. And to answer a question about compression fittings I found that I could not fit two 3/8 Koolance fittings side by side. Someone would have to make a facetted top and port it at angles to get fittings on there. So 45 degree swivels are indeed the only work around other than a combobulation of M-M/F-F to extend the 2nd fitting.
