I don't like the solid rocket escape motor being placed in the center of
the passenger cabin. From discussion on other forums I understand this

rocket motor to be placed forward for stability reasons.
Still, I get a very visceral negative reaction to this arrangement.
Anyone else get that reaction?

No.

At first glance is looks like a waste of valuable capsule internal
volume. but it's also an interesting solution to a design problem.
