I find Locline isn't all that restrictive though .. I guess the one counter argument is that if you do find it too restrictive, you can add more outputs (via T's) and then you have more flow-aiming options.. And it should be easy to work it around the Eurobracing. Just a thought.
How easy is it to go from 2" T's to loc line though? What is involved? I have never used loc line before actually.

What fittings would I need? For example, I see only 3/4" loc line on J&L's site. Would this even be big enough? I do agree, I could add more T's and that would actually be pretty good.

Would I basically have to use PVC fittings to reduce down from 2" to 3/4" and then use a 3/4" Modular Piping MPT Connector Fitting (threaded) and then the loc line and then whatever nozzle? Sound about right or is there a better way?

Nevermind. I just figured out what I would need to spend to do this right with Loc line and I cannot spend that much more on this tank right now. Its like close to $200 for just the loc line fittings for all my outlets and thats without any PVC fitting I would need! So probably like $225-250...Not happening! I added up everything the other day and Im at about $2000 now...Thats ontop of all the stuff I already had. Thats actually not so much for a tank of course but this was suppose to be a cheaper one! Especially being a FOWLR.
