The downside of that is that the hub depth on a 1-1/2" fitting is 5/8" and on a 2" fitting is 3/4", so I believe that the spigot length on a street fitting will be the same. While a shield coupler typically wants 1" of pipe to connect to.
I think you will want a shielded coupler somewhere. If it fits on the horizontal, then that would be a good place, I think. Shielded couplings top
and side could make for easier construction, but may involve opening the wall above the counter. So if you will use a shielded coupler on the bottom right, the street bend buys you space.
If it doesn't readily fit on the horizontal, there are other alternatives, such as using 45 bends to put the santee to the left, and facing the santee side port out of the wall with no bend.
