Thoughts on winch placement?

[Petedd]

My Pearson 424 has both primary and spinnaker winches on the coaming with the spinaker winches mounted aft. A sistership, without spinaker winches moved the primaries aft so they are abeam the steering pedestal making them more appropriate for single handing. Any thought on have the less used spinnaker winches forward of the primary winches? Or reasons not to move the primaries more aft?

Thanks,

Pete
