This is basically what I've been doing with the LC guides. The 20 is 45mm high and the 16M 35mm (which works well with lower stem reels). I put the guide where it minimizes line slap, then use the angle from the spool spindle to the center of the collector as a guide to place the next two transition guides. It lets me get down to runners much sooner than with the NGC formula and the rods perform well. Perhaps the angle of the K guide will help even more, but the LC guides do a good job already.
