The other advantage to the Sul Position or low ready is that if you are suddenly engaged by a BG at contact distance and he is able to stop you from coming all the way up to a normal firing position, there are still targets you can shoot (floor, feet, legs, pelvis, lower abdomen).

If the same thing happens and you are trying to come down from high ready there will probably be only air and ceiling. Don't forget that what goes up, must come down.
