While acknowledging you've been doing this a bit longer than me, having done both I have to respectfully disagree. It's pretty convenient to pull up a sabiki with one or multiple baits attached and be able to grab the hook and shake them off one by one, dropping them into the tank in front of you. This effectively minimizes handling of the bait as well as making them easier to grab when you need one. This setup isn't going to put you on more fish but it does streamline the bait making process as a whole.
It's really not that big of a deal if the reverse isn't a problem for you but given the choice, and it wouldn't affect the mechanics of the tank, I'd always choose having the tank in front of me. But to each his own.
