Most people use IDE to connect hard disk (or similar) unit. So that's why interface on IDE is rather not too god idea.

Are you familiar with concept of the piggyback?
As SID require PCB anyway then adding passtrough IDE connector looks to me pretty obvious - of course there are concerns raised by Daedalus associated with some IDE extensions/buffers but still for plain A1200 with only single IDE HDD connected this is neat point (IDE port) where data bus is available and some address lines also provided.
