Does anyone have an opinion as to the ideal location for a planing stop? It is a left handed bench with a fairly short top. To date, I have been using dogs and a wagon vise to hold boards for planing on the other end of the bench, so I am having trouble visualizing this.
The instructions suggest placing it outside the vise chop so it is easy to tap up from underneath the bench, but I am concerned that it might not have enough support so close to the edge.

The rail under the top is much narrower than the vise chop, so I could place the planing stop even with the last dog hole and a few inches farther from the front apron. Maybe a little more difficult to tap from underneath, but how often am I going to be doing that anyway.
Another option would be to put it to the left of the vise chop:
