It kinda makes since to me to mount "up" you have more weight with the camera, monitor, and batteries than with the lens, LEX, and mattebox

It does seem to balance well - I like the slightly higher angle of view that this setup gives me.

I'd image that'd be the case for most people. Unless you're a tabletop photographer like ol' Edi is with his LEX/Zacuto setup

With both the 20mm and 28mm lenses, I zoom the HVX lens to 25mm to eliminate any vignetting. For the 35-85mm lenses I zoom to 20 or 22mm with the HVX lens.

Have you tried this 'up' mounting?

No.. unfortunately I haven't... I don't own a flip adapter yet.
However, think about things this way... what weights more... your camera or your adapter + lens? I'd rather know my camera is as safe as possible than my adapter. It also seems to depend on your style of filming. If you're using a skater dolly and doing low angles, this might be quite absurd to configure your LEX like this. Just look at what Edi5 does with his dolly.
