Way to maximize Tall Storage?

[Stretchytall]

The Tall Storage structure provides three small storage ports, but it needs to be placed on one medium storage (platform) port in order to be stable. I don't see a way to increase the storage it provides beyond three small ports (you can't attach a Medium Storage Device to it). So it seems like Tall Storage uses more space than it provides. Is there a way to maximize the storage Tall Storage provides, or is it just kinda useless? In what case would it be better than Medium Storage?

It's main use appears to be as a light post by putting Worklights or Floodlights on it. You can also add a small battery for powering those lights, if you do not connect the tall storage to a power network.

I have also seen uses in automation where it holds a Proximity Repeater for activating a rail car.

The tall storage is for when you specifically want to elevate an item, like a light source. For actual storage capacity, the Medium Storage Silo holds any 24 small (single-slot) items, and the Medium or Large Resource Canisters hold 32 or 400, respectively, of any one type of resource nugget. (There are similar bulk storage canisters for liquids (hydrazine), soil, and gasses.)
