This is of course highly personal as to how we all play. Since I first started, I've always had so much respect for the volume pedal, and when I designed my Carter U12 I had John put my "7" pedal on an outer LKR lever. I play a 7 pedal/7 knee lever universal setup. 2 levers on the right knee only, but 5 on the left.

Makes it easy to use with the other "6th" pedals, without leaving the volume pedal.

But, like I said, this is a personal choice.

Talking about using both feet.
When ever a discussion involving a Multi-Kord comes up folk say it is only a chord changer and can’t be played like a regular pedal steel.
If you really like the Mooney style and sound , use both feet.
I always used both feet on my eight string five pedal Multi-Kord.
Working the volume with my little finger.
I am not advocating for anyone to start on a Multi-Kord just saying what can be done with both feet and no knee levers.
This was 1954 and pedal steels we rare and expensive.
