I would presume ( just me talking out aloud so I could be wrong ) that if you go counterweight heavy then you don’t need to change the position of the weights depending on which side of the meridian you’re on. I think either would be fine as long as you’re marginally heavy one side to constantly rest on one side of the worm gears. Extrapolating from that I guess it’s the same reasoning on DEC. Again, happy to hear more solid logic than what my grey matter can come up with.
