Infinity floating laterals for wingsuiting

[Ronaldo 0]

I’m considering an Infinity rig and would like to try the floating laterals option. How bad would it be for the wingsuit?
My current Wings has cut-in laterals and besides a little distortion I don’t think it is a big deal for the suit. OTOH I’m afraid the floating laterals could cause extra tension since there are 2 straps spread in an angle.

I have them and haven't had any problems on a P3, Colugo, SBird, Rbird, etc.
