For one, "Power" is used as a cancel button in many screens, and I feel it makes sense then that it's stop. Holding Play/Pause makes very little, or even no, sense for being "Stop" and is only really this way on targets where we didn't have a button that can be used. As well, moving the context menu onto the central button, and the main menu onto the "Down" button means the finger needs to move much less during normal navigation, and is beneficial as well to some left handed users who may have to reposition their hand to comfortably reach the Power button and access the main menu. I chose a mapping similar to other targets because it conveniently addresses these problems. Basically, I think there are a few, relatively small, shortcomings with the existing map. But even then, assuming both maps are equal with exception to preferences of individual users, why NOT pick one that's more like other targets, if they're equal on all other grounds? (And I would argue that this new map is superior, but I know others feel the same way, and both are cases of preference since apparently problems for left-handers are exclusive to me and not other left-handers in the group.)
