I agree. I prefer my arm to lie at 90 to the table and my wrist and fingers to follow in a straight line for minimum stress, maximum comfort to the paddle. Rotating the rig 15 would help a lot. But I have another problem which is that I often operate the tune with my left hand while my right stays put on the paddle, so, with this arrangement, my left hand has to be held up and across me, which I think I would find uncomfortable quite quickly. I don't think it's a deal breaker and the panadaptor idea on a netbook is definitely a deal maker.
