At anchor its hard to get ventilation and headroom in a forward head and one person can't have to climb into or out of the bunk without having the other person have to move.

I have been saying that for years. I totally agree. I do not feel it is the best arrangement for LA. Weekending, etc... ok. Just my opinion, but when cruising or LA you may get up several times a night to check the anchor... disturbing your spouse. The nice thing is the room it opens up for the cabin, but some of the practicalities are tough to live with.
