New table build, hinge question...

I'm getting ready to build my table, I was wondering if there is any downside to having the egg lowered so it's kind of flushed...Kind of like the picture i have attached. I plan on using cedar wood and modifying the plans from Nakedwhiz. I'll also be using the table nest instead of concrete paver. Any input would be greatly appreciated and if you can share the cuts for the hinge :)
