Hi Greg,
Perhaps the best is to ask your question to the maker (Loïc or Cathy or Zun) at http://www.flyyourbody.com
I don't use a Snekor but I've made the same system on my rig, interesting for wingsuit to take brakes very quickly without opening wings (I've tested then on a very low pull, great!).
Brakes are in front under your shoulder and not on the riser as comon. They can't be stuck on riser if these are twisted, this is the second advantage, so can pilot your canopy with twist too.
That all for me.
:)

Just, take care :

With the toggles in the hand (easy to catch with Snekor), you are strong enougth to pull the brake lines, even with many line twist.
But ... when you release the toggle, there is not enougth force to pull the brake line back in position through the twists ... so you stay like that, turning with deep brake on one side.

Not always a good idea ...
Good jumps !
