On my 2015 minibus there is only one connection point at that location. But I had heard the if the 60A fuse blows (although I'd hope that it doesn't) it's a pig to replace. So I was going to use the battery terminal for simplicity.
Also, has mcbutler gone for the Victron isolated or non-isolated version? What are the pros and cons of each? I had planned not to use a ground for my house system, just bringing everything back to negative terminal of leisure battery. That would mean using the isolated version, which is brody expensive.
And where is he fitting the ignition feed? The difficult-to-get-at one under the seat? Or is feasible to take an ignition live from the fuse box at the steering column?

My starter battery is ground to the van (transit mk7) chassis in the front, whereas my leisure battery in the back will be ground to a bolt on the van floor, along with an inverter. From what I understand, this would mean they are both ground to the chassis, however I'm unsure whether that difference in grounding position, albeit 3 or 4 metres, is going to make a difference as to what charger I get, isolated or non-isolated. Any thoughts?
