Can someone refresh my memory why you would want a remote
oil filter, given the added risk of the oil hoses failing?

Don't know the engine compartment configuration for the LNC-2, but on the -4
it takes a magician with infinitely flexible arms and hands to get to, much
less change the oil filter on the back of the Continental TSIO-550. My first
assessment was that it was impossible to do, but I watched it done once, and
had to admit that it was possible--just barely. In my case, this was a "no
brainer"--relocate it to where it will be changed regularly, and without
tearing up the hoses, wiring and control cables that surround the original
location on the back of the engine...
