Another reason I like the 2(B&E) + 3(ADG) arrangement is that because this usually puts the B tuner farther from the nut than any other arrangement, whether 3+2, 4+1, or even 5+0, there is more room for the B string leader, which for me allows the B string to be tuned more smoothly and precisely, and does not bind the string onto the tuner post getting into the taper of the leader into the speaking length of the string, or worse yet, onto the speaking length itself.
Ken, thanks for adopting the 2+3 as your standard tuner arrangement.
