I have the 48's but even if I could swing them outside the legs (which I can't) they would smash my knees to bits. The only way for me is between the legs (which I can't do either)
A friend of mine prefers outside double snatch, me not so much
I can do single outside the leg and to me it makes my glutes catch fire.
I also like doing outside swings with a sandbag and staggered foot placement.
One thing I've noticed playing around with various swings, they all hit to varying degrees quad, hamstring, glutes, erectors. The specific variant will determine how much of an emphasis where, but nothing hits them all the same - if you are working a variation that targets quads more, it will de-emphasize the glutes. Glutes and hammies heavy, the erectors not so much, and the quads hardly. At least when I'm doing them.
I just sub out various hinge movements and use several - they all have benefit.
