Interesting - my comp of choice is a Darkglass Super Symmetry for exactly the reason you like the LMB-3. I got mine really cheap because the switch is a bit iffy and takes 2-3 goes to switch on.
I play in the classical position, always have. I never really thought about it until fairly recently. I do have long arms though so have no problem with reach.
Funnily enough I had a similar experience after reading this thread. I particularly enjoy giving it a fat fuzz from my Wooly Mammoth clone, mono mode, both octaves up and a bit of modulation makes for some incredibly juicy tones
