Anyone using RP-500SA as heights channel ?

I've actually been considering mounting the 4 rp500sa's upside down to the ceiling so the are almost like in ceiling speakers without cutting holes in my ceiling. Still utilize the 45degrees front and rear like dolby suggests, and have them flat on the ceiling with the angle pointing toward the mlp. Any thoughts on this?  Or should I just mount them as 4 height speakers for atmos use? The fronts will be 8 ft in front of me while the backs only a few feet if I mount them as height speakers.

Because the Atmos switch utilizes a crossover that is only intended for upfiring mode to reflect off the ceiling.  Just because the other setting says "surround" doesn't mean anything, that is the setting you would use if you have them in any other position except upfiring. 

 

Does anyone know if the angle of the RP-500SA is the same as the other Klipsch Atmos speakers?  20 degrees? 
 

Also, is the keyhole bigger on the RP-500SA compared to the R-41SA or the same?

Best I can tell from measurements, the angle on the 500SA is about 22 degrees.
