And I know you hatch tons, so I'm betting you know what you are doing! Well, I am going to see how this hatch does and go from there. If I said anything right now, my DH would go crazy, he's already having a rough time with this whole incubation thing. I wouldn't even think to ask him to change the setup now!
Both setups make sense to me for different reasons, but I bet yours will turn out to be better! No doubt, for you are one to worship!
So what did you read for your research? NOT that I don't trust you know what you are doing, but I like to read about stuff like that and try to understand it in my own head! Kind of the same reason I had to get a water wiggle going, so I could see the 99.5 degrees that stays pretty steady, instead of averaging the high and low from the thermometer. Again, drove my DH crazy, he felt I did not trust him! Silly man!
