The routing itself might look good, but the stops stick up on top of the tube with a skinning cable connecting them them looks unfinished, and is an invitation to mess up the paint. I'd rather just have three housing guides if the cable is going to be on top of the tube - it looks smoother and is much less likely to screw up the paint.

My opinion, of course, but I have heard other people saying the same.
