Eastwind have you given any thought to CNG? Is it available in your area? The narrower shape of the tanks sometimes works better in lazzeretts and other tight places. There is the added safety benefit of the gas being lighter than air.
My MS 300 came with the system installed so I’m not 100 sure that the hardware is the same but I did add a selenoid cut off switch that could have been used on a propane setup also.

Better to find humility before humility finds you.
I second the nomination for the Origo 6000. The installation will take about 30 minutes (it does require a couple spacers to narrow the cabinetry "oven notch" to the correct width), but that is it. No hosing, solenoids, cut-offs, etc and you don't lose any storage or rail space. Propane is great, but simplicity is also nice!
