I rather like the stock position. It's pretty cramped in that little compartment as it is

for Molex I use one that look like this one https://www.maddison.ca/mad-017229.html?___store=english&___from_store=default
For JST I use a small screwdriver
for AMP I use a LARGE paperclip.

I am sure this is preaching to the choir, but the 3 step novus plastic polish kit and a drill polishing pads/adapter will make that plus anything else plastic/acrylic look like new.
All available easy peasy and cheaply on amazon.
I have used it on basically all of my marquee's and clear plastics.

Another note on something I did, the big piece of glass overlaying the monitor. I had lots of "rubbed" sections where the black paint was just gone so the white plastic beneath would show through.
I ended up masking off the main clear section, I used an air brush with a stencile to airbrush on fresh white lettering, then reversed masked that off and then airbrushed the entire black painted edging. For me it made a big difference.

Thoughts on the CP:
I started with this disaster:
Stage 2 - Sanded the entire thing, filled the cig burns with a automotive flexible polymer (not bondo!), more sanding....
Ended up with this, this is not paint but a new type ceramic coating that bonds to the plastic, sorta like powder coating, but for plastic, much tougher than any paint that I had done at a specialty automotive shop. I have the OG metal panel, but wanted something alittle different from our home boy alberto. if you go this route, you need to specify a thinner metal piece as the OG is thin aluminum, his stock steel is a bit too thick to sit flush with the pastic.

Give this a look, its big in the firearms community for guns, it's tough as shit and looks great. Lotta vids and info out there on it. I have seen a few xbox controllers and keyboards with it.
Try and find a local place that applies it or maybe do it yourself if you have the tools/skill set.

egret 29 designer was like "yeah.... im going for something just a little different guys.. no worries it will fit right in with the others."
I might try with bezel and other panels asap ! It's crazy that i've never heard about this.
Thanks for sharing, it looks amazing !

Super impressive lineup. I'd probably put my Blast's next to each other 
I don't know why, but I love the Egret 29. It's probably one of my only goal cabs at this point.

I think if I had that collection of cabs I'd have it line it up like
E29 NAC Blast Blast E2 Vewlix Lindbergh
so that the angle of the monitor slowly becomes more upright as it goes down the line
