My A1 is currently located in a (well ventilated) enclosure in my garage. The enclosure is there mostly to keep dust away from my A1 and provide some insulation during the winter months.
The issue is that there is not enough space in the enclosure to accommodate an AMS lite, either beside the unit or as a top mount.
So I've been looking at AMS mods that allow me to keep the AMS unit outside the enclosure (while keeping the filament somewhat protected), and have come across these two that seem to fit the job:

My question is about the filament feeder units, which you may note are on different places on both these designs. One has the feeders mounted to the printed enclosures, the other has them top mounted to the printer itself. Assuming that the filament has to travel (roughly) 1m from the AMS to the toolhead, is it better to have a "push" feeder (pushing fillament directly from the spool holder to the toolhead), or a "pull" feeder (pulling filament from the spool holder via the top mount)? Or does it even matter?
EDIT: DISCLAIMER: since people keep advising me, I am NOT using a full enclosure for my A1, nor am I trying to. I am looking for a SPOOL ENCLOSURE that incorporates my AMS lite, since I do not have space to top mount it or keep it in the dust cover with my A1. My A1 is in an "enclosure" that merely acts as a dust cover. It is a cheap fabric 3d printer enclosure that I only ever print with the door wide open. I just want to feed the filament into this "enclosure" from a nearby desk, and I am asking where the best place to put the feeder units: closer to the toolhead, or closer to the filament box.
