Having all on the key would make life easier every day. So maybe trouble shooting is not an obstacle.

I feel your pain. That is why I mounted the cutoff on both my A's in the center cross-member to disconnect the battery to frame(earth) cable. Just lift the rug in front of the seat, even while seated, and twist the switch.

With the original popout in place, all my accessories are a separate fuse to a hidden switch then out. Shutting off the battery disconnect switch kills everything, provided the generator/alt is not still spinning! No up/down, open/close hood fuss.
