Subject:New Keyboard, Stand Issues

I just got an SL880Pro controller to go along with my Electro and
NL2. I was hoping that I'd be able to stack the Electro on top of
the SL880 on the lower tier of my X stand with a couple minor
issues, and keep the NL2 on the top tier, but it won't work- you
have to have the Electro pulled too far forward on the SL880 and it
covers the controls up. I also broke out my old Invisible stand, as
I used to stack a VK7 on top of a Yamaha P50, then had a little PVC
extension I made for a Juno 106. This worked because the VK had a
decent size wood top that the 106 could partially sit on. The
Electro's knobs get in the way if I try this so that option is out.

Aside from buying a 3 tier stand, which I really don't want, does
anyone have any suggestions on how to rig up an extension for a 2
tier X stand? I was thinking of my old friend PVC again. I could run
a piece into the back of the top tier tube, use a corner kind of
elbow, a short upright, another corner elbow, a short piece as a
resting place for the keyboard, a T on the end to hold the keyboard
in place with a short "leg" that rests on top of the electro. Sort
of like this, if my ascii art works right:

|___|_SL880PRO|_ on bottom tier

I'd make 2 of these contraptions and then connect them with longer
pieces to create the shelf for the NL2 to sit. Probably cost me 10
bucks for the materials.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
