Not particularly common and not at all on the PA-28s AFAIK, but as you say 
nice to have -- One of the frustrating aspects of my flight training was the 
engine RPM guage being on the instructors side on the PA28-140 and the 
consequent parallax errors. 
"I said 2400rpm"
"Thats what Im doing"
" No its not, you're revving the ****s off it"
/me moves head back a bit
"Ah OK"
"Thats better, why couldn't you do that the first time?"
"Cos it looks like 2400 rpm from here"
"Well be more careful then"
meanwhile my attention has been distracted and I'm trying to remember what the 
the second M in 'BUMMPFFICHH' stands for
"Call  _that_  1000 ft ? .. looks more like 1100 going on 1150"
and so on for several bumpy not-rectangular-at-all circuits....

I'm looking forward to playing with this  :-)
