Imagine you pick up the whole assembly and let it fall (gravity works from top to bottom of the sheet of paper it is printed on, not from above down to the face of paper it is printed on)? Which one looks more stable and would land on the floor as-is? The top one, of course. It sits better when printed, and especially so when it is presented as an illustration that comes before a paragraph, which is a more-or-less rectangular-looking block of text; at least it looks that way to me. Didn't I say it is just a "personal preference"? ;-)
