Arrangement with limited space for a flowbench

I thought the overall sizes of the flow bench and the volumes of the chambers. I end up with changing the splitting the "C-Chamber" where the blowers are. Instead of splitting over the short side, I will split the box from left to right over the wide side. This allows me to put in 8 instead of 9 blower motors, but the overall wide shrinks from 100 cm to 80 cm and the blower champer does is not so hight and I win more space for the upper chambers. As a plus, I have both, the sucking and blowing opening at the left hand, which makes it easier for me to arrange the flow bench into the workshop.
First of all (Idea A) I rebuild the flow bench chamber A and B as it was before, but with more space:
However I tought about following variants:
Idea B:
(Just rearranged)
Idea B2:
(closed the upper opening of the baffle and moved the orifice place higher)
With this variation, I hope the measuring is a bit more stable, as the air flow does have more space to settle and is not "hitting hard" to the wall of baffle.
What do you guys think ?
Cheers,
Daniel
