Finally gave in and added 2 extra taps, and a Micromatic 4 bank of secondary regulators. This required some rework - and certainly recommend doing this from the start.
Here's the final build!
The Micromatic 4 bank is a beast - and wound up being too tall to mount on the wall of the collar Make your collar 8" tall!!!
Didn't want to start over so, pondered it over a few home brews with da wife. The solution was to attach it to the collar roof - which puts it in a perfect readable position when the collar is open.
First, had to move the CO2 tank and the primary outside of the keezer to have room for 4 kegs, and the bank of secondaries. I plan to mount the tank to the back of the keezer - but haven't had time yet. For now, it sits on a shelf above the keezer. Made a good mount, and added a chain (lesson learned from first tip over).
Moved the distributor to the outside as well, so have one line outside for force carbonation, starting siphon, etc. and the other runs into the keezer. Bought brass fittings at Home Depot - and drilled through the back collar wall. Added a shutoff / hose connection on the back, and caulked it all up:
and here is the inside view:
Added another shutoff / hose connection on the inside, which connects to the secondaries.
