Pier position in 2.3 metre dome

I have a 2.3 metre Sirius dome on a pallet and am deciding whether to erect it now or keep it for "later".
Part of that process of mulling it over involves the tricky question of where to position the pier in the dome.
The designs I have seen all seem to be for fork-mounted scopes and the pier is located more or less against one wall. But all my mounts are equatorial and my interests largely in imaging.
What is the conventional wisdom on this??
