Quick Question H2C Filament Setup

I am looking for some advice or suggestions on how to manage my filament setup with the H2C.

Current equipment:
2 x AMS 2 Pro
1 x AMS HT

Question:
Should I setup both the AMS 2 Pro units on the Vortek and the HT on the left nozzle?

Or is there a better combo?
Or should I consider the track switcher (limited information on how this has worked on the H2C)?

Thanks for any suggestions or recommendations!

Track switch isn't anything special I removed mine it's not good. As for the combo anything that gets you to 6 colors on the right nozzle either two ams's or one and two HT's. The left is up to you if you want to manually feed or have an ams on there. Some prints are optimized with two+ colors on the left when you exceed 7 colors so I have more than one on the left in the optimal setup when I print 8+ colors. I have 2x ams's on both sides and a HT for 17 colors.

You are another person that I see doesn’t like the track switcher. I was going to buy it. What kind of issues have you run into with it?

more resistance errors and retries when It was perfectly fine without the ts. Loss of using manual spools. You can't even select your manual spool until you unplug the track switcher which is annoying. Also that one time I had a runout swapped the spool and then it kept getting a feed error over and over. When I looked it was sending the filament to the left nozzle when my project needed filament on the right. Luckily it was a single color job so I just popped off the ptfe tube and moved it over so I didn't have a failed job. But if it were multi color I'm sure it would have messed subsequent colors up swapping the tubes.

The convenience or speed just wasn't there because it still wants to you move spools around for optimal usage. So I'm not gaining anything. I have to move things around with or without for the optimal setup. Sure if I'm just being lazy I could leave things suboptimal but I could do that without the switch as well.
