This is actually a good point, also against mixed order approaches (at
least if you can afford the number of speakers...).

Hi Augustine,
Whilst it is generally said that that our angular acuity is better
on the horizontal plane, this way of expressing things is, frankly, a
snare and a delusion since it only applies when the head is upright.
Unless your listeners are restrained using something like the infamous
Green-Lee neck brace they will be able to move and change the
orientation of their heads so the direction of maximum acuity can be
essentially anywhere. So, if it is remotely possible, the rig should
be as homogeneous as possible in all directions. The other thing to
beware of is the difficulty of retaining equi-loudness in all panned
directions with uneven speaker rigs.
