I have used a six foot hose on my primary regulator, routed under my right arm and then around my neck with a bungeed backup hanging around my neck since I started diving recently and it still make perfect sense to me.
If my dive buddy, or another diver in the group, is in a panic for air they will be focused on the primary regulator that I am using. Even they grab the regulator in my mouth, or if I offer the primary, the backup is readily accessible and quick to access for my use.
I have had to share my primary regulator with a buddy once in an emergency and by tilting my head downwards a bit the loop on the six foot primary hose played out and allowed the space needed for the two of us to become organized and make our ascent.
I will continue to use this system because it makes sense and has worked for me when we needed it.
