^ That's a very interesting consideration......

I'm not completely sure that I'd go for a single-LI front, single-LI rear, setup, though....

I'm not a believer of "offset" jammer setups. Historically, they've done less-than-well, except on VERY small vehicles, with little or no hardpoints.

What I don't like is the idea that depending on the situation, you'll likely get inconsistent results. I'm of the strong belief that inconsistent protection is truly worse than no protection at all, as with the inconsistencies, you're almost left where you cannot predict what your setup will do, in any one situation versus another. That sense of false security could lead you into more trouble than if you just didn't have that false expectation, to begin with.

If you're budget-limited, I'd just mount both LI heads up-front, and hedge your bets on the fact that, for the time being, it is truly MUCH more likely that you'd see a frontal assault, rather than rear.
