I believe the current hose setup is a fantastic idea. Have you ever noticed how EASY it is to take your 'mags apart?:
1. Remove hose
2. Remove valve
3. Fix any problems
4. Replace valve
5. Replace hose
This is, of course, assuming you ever have had problems. It is simply an easy, efficient way of doing things. When every thing is on the OUTSIDE, it makes it that much easier to determine what any leak or other problem is. You can actually observe the condition of what might be on the inside of some other gun.
Having the hose on the outside is what makes the Automag that much easier to fix and maintain. It just simplifies the process. While I have thought of what it might look like with the hose on the inside of the gun, I would gladly sacrifice that little bit of form for such a leap in function.
I say it's a fantastic design, not only because it is functinally sound, but because asthetically, it's not even that displeasing.
