Pmag ignition harness

For those of you with dual PMAGS and auto plugs, are you running one mag to top plugs and the other to the bottoms, or a more conventional "cross over" arrangement?

Any issues with the leads being a bit short?
Thanks

I was doing top and bottom and was told that I should do 2 top and 2 bottom from a smart guy with the same set up as me. That way the RPM did not vary much (from mag to mag) while doing "mag" checks. Don't know if that is true or not but I went that route. I am not flying my plane yet but I flew his and the mag drop was very close to each other. About 20 RPM difference.

Seems easier to route one mag to the top and one to the bottom.
 
I have all top and all bottom on both of the airplanes I fly and get ZERO RPM drop between L and R during any "normal" stress test.

...50 LOP is a different story however, but thats a tale for another thread...
 
Ditto

2 top and 2 bottom from each. There was plenty of ignition wire supplied with the mags such that I had some left over after making the harnesses.
