On Mark's rack, it certainly seems that it might interfere, but I have had no problem using a M12 with the Eyc, mounted properly. See this picture of my Sequoia <https://www.flickr.com/photos/franklyn/18418579449/in/album-72157632662017902/>. Click on the picture once you are on flickr so you can zoom in. The Eyc mounts on the eyelet on the strut with some spacers.
Here is a picture <https://www.flickr.com/photos/franklyn/23575922322/in/album-72157632662017902/> of the sequoia using a IC Fly premium, which is much bulkier than the Eyc (but produces 80 lux), it tucks under the rack platform on this custom RackByJimG rack. The Edelux is certainly competent and beautiful, but not 4 times more functional or beautiful than a Eyc or a Fly premium, IMHO.
