Perhaps a starting point would be the distance from your elbow to your fingertips. If the distance from front to back is more than that, you might appreciate a little more vertical space. How often will you need to access the extreme rear underside of the second level? Will you be able to lie flat on your back atop the fiddle yard (with something to support your lower body), or will you have to lean over backwards? If your fiddle yard is so deep that you will have to bend at the waist to reach the rear tracks, will there be head clearance? There’s really no one correct answer. With what will you be comfortable?
