Side by side mount v over and under

I currently have my scopes over and under on my EQ6 e.g. ED127 on the mount and ED80 mounted over the top on the ED127 OTA rings for guiding. I also have a 200mm Newt that I put on the mount with the ED80 over the top once again.
I would like the pros and cons of getting a side by side mount to fix the scopes to the EQ6.
Which is easier to balance, are there issues of hitting the tripod legs if the scopes are mounted side by side, which is easier to set up etc.

All answers and advice appreciated.

Thanks

Frank
