The thought had crossed my mind, but I didn't really see any great advantage over the standard setup.
Access isn't going to be much (if any) better without the turrets there, and either way its a lot better than on a standard IIB, and a 101.
Coupled with the height of the cab/seatbox being set mostly by the height of the engine the shock absorber turrets have plenty of clearance, and as I'm leaving the battery box and toolbox lids as removable pieces access and ability to remove parts of necessary is pretty good.
At the moment it's 2-3 inches higher than a standar IIB (mostly for engine clearance) although I suspect you could bring the overall height down an inch or two if you were running a V8 or an inline engine that had the inlet manifold positioned differently.
Either way it doesn't look particularly ungainly, and should be relatively easy to work on if required.
