The 'pulling' up effect can be compensated to some extent by the
decoder design. The price is less precise elevation, and in most
cases the decoder will amplify the 'down' material that it can't 
reproduce and spread it over the horizontal ring. So you should
avoid to have too much 'down' signal in such cases.

The 8 + 8 setup is probably the most practical one for temporary
or mobile installations. I could optimise the decoder if you can
give me the exact elevations of the two rings.
