First off I don't think anyone meant any of their comments to be harsh. Most of the people on this board can be privately emailed or even called on the phone, and are usually happy to help anyone.

I was just checking the viewing angles of my MK1 and it seems that it would be ok in your application (2feet away 1 foot down). I haven't had the opportunity to see an MK2, I've got an extra MK1 blue face plate if you want to try to retrofit it onto the MK2, if it would even fit.
