If I'm following you correctly, in one configuration with the ME II you get a huge amount of space for through the mount wiring, but in the alternate configuration you're reduced to the same amount of space we get with the ME in either configuration.

Yes! In the normal position the top of the dec axis has a 5 mm deep channel that aligns with a 4-5mm deep channel cut into the versa plate. So there is 9-10 mm for the cables to run through. One of the Bisque cables is clearly much larger than 5mm. When you rotate the versa plate there is no channel on the top of the dec axis leaving only 4-5 mm in the versa plate which is not sufficient. The instructions in the manual are frustrating to say the least. One is left to believe this is a "simple" operation. One 90 degree channel cut in the top of the dec axis would totally solve this problem. I can't for the life of me understand why this isn't "standard." I guess it would make this hobby "too easy" which would be counter industry standard!!
