how many packers can be cooked on an XL?

Legume

My BGE is the standard XL setup with a plate setter. I know I will need to invest in something that gives me a second tier and allows enough clearance for cooking packers on two levels. I have seen several posts over the past year addressing multi-level indirect cooks, but I need to narrow down my search to what gives me the height to cook packers on two levels and maximizes the number I can cook. Is it possible to do three on the bottom and two on top or two and two?
The AR appears to give enough clearance between grids if I set it on the BGE grid setting on top of plate setter, is there enough room on top for a brisket also?
Are there any other setups that provide enough clearance?
Thanks

If you alternate them, I'd say 2 packers per level. You might fit a 3rd on the bottom
