My layout has less distance, same hand, and row jumping, but a little more same finger.
The only good roll on my layout is AN, but it does have IN, EN, and TO in fairly easy positions. It also has a lot less outward rolls than inward rolls.
My layout puts E and U on the ring finger, which some people would like and some wouldn't. If your ring finger feels overstressed, you can switch the ring finger and the middle finger. This creates a couple of problems, but could be worth it.
The primary source of same finger on my layout is AF/FA, which is on the middle finger: the second most agile finger, and arguably the strongest.
My layout puts a little less stress on the left index finger, which I like.
