Mixing mag shingles - Paraclete and Tactical Tailor

For a while now I've been eyeing the Paraclete's triple M4/triple pistol shingle and recently had the chance to pick one up used. I've been running a Tactical Tailor triple shingle with a 3-mag pistol shingle mounted on the front, and it works fine but I was itching to try something different.

Once I got the Paraclete pouch mounted on my TT MAV it occurred to me that I could run the two triple shingles side-by-side to carry six mags. I lined them up to check out the setup and noticed something interesting.  They don't line up.

Look at the photo below.  The TT pouches are mounted flush with the top of the shingle, while the Paraclete M4 mag pouches sit an inch below the top.  I'm not sure it really matters to me, and I won't know until I try it out.  I may find that it's easier to index a mag without looking if they're all the same height.  So it's worth thinking about if you're considering mixing pouches.
