Well, here's my non-xpert opinion.
I have an Elzetta mounted in the same position as your picture, with the standard clicky tailcap at the end of a 9" rail. In such a position, you don't need the remote, because it's literally right next to your thumb and can be easily activated as needed. If you're running a 7" carbine rail in your picture, then you *definitely* do not need the tape switch as your hand will be all over the light.
The only way, IMO that you would need the remote switch is if you were going to mount the light on the right side of your rail, then running the remote either at 12 o'clock or 9 o'clock would enable you to get to it either with your support hand or ambidextrously.
