When I use a micro-rack (BMS), I clip the top to the left side of the harness when not in use. It seems to stay out of the way pretty well. I've never tried this with a 6-bar rack which I use only rarely.
Micro and J racks are two different types of device, each with their advantages. I have stopped using a J rack because it offers zero advantage for the stuff I'm doing (220' and under). The micro is easier to handle, easy to control, easy to lock-off, and easy to pack. I like it a lot.
