Will this drain work?

This is to replace a very old toilet in my basement utility room. Just like the old toilet, the new one will sit on a joist deck to allow space for the plumbing. I’m just adding a vanity and actual walls (the old one was just a toilet out in the middle of space with a sink on the wall to the left—looked like a prison cell). Unlike the old one, though, this one will be vented with an AAV (as opposed to no vent at all), and, hopefully, moved over a little. The old toilet flange was straight out from the large hub. It worked, but since space is at a premium, I’d like to move the toilet over (to roughly where the flange in the picture sits). I want to make sure the 90˚ bend is okay. Pictured next to the 90˚ is a 45˚ elbow, which might be more clog-resistant, but will also push the toilet out further than I’d really like. I also found (but didn’t buy) a 60˚ elbow, which could split the difference. So will this 90˚ work, and if not, would a 60˚ or 45˚? Thanks.

(P.S. I’m planning on keeping that shutoff and cleanout accessible through a panel, and even with the 90˚ bend, the flange will be 13†from the back wall, leaving 3 ½†between the tank and the side wall. The water discharges down under the cement floor, so I’m not willing to move the iron hub.)

Where's the vent going to go?

There's an air-admittance valve on the smaller pipe to the left.

Oh sure it will probably drain but it will forever look like a hacked up handyman mess.

It seems a shame to pass up the opportunity to do this right. Toilets and bath tubs on a platform are forever the sign of a hack job.

Agreed. Plumbing it in properly is the best way to keep things looking nice and neat. Time your done with making sure you have proper pitch on that your floor height would be around 9" or more.

Go on...

Disdain noted. But I wasn't asking about aesthetics or morality. The toilet is for me. I'll still sleep at night if it's on a platform (I guarantee it will be a vast improvement over what was there before), especially since I'm all my wife and I can afford to hire. I'm asking if it will function. Still, if this is an opportunity, I want to know what all my options are. What is the "right" way, and is it something I can do without spending several thousand dollars?

It will work.

Taking a little more time and breaking some concrete out, will take about as much effort as building a higher floor for it.

Falling off the John is what we worry about.
From time to time, I've used things like that other places, and I tend to forget and step off and just about wreck my self.

Did you know that more people die on the toilet than anywhere else?
( ok, ok, I am not sure given the source was over lunch at the Olive Garden drinking wine with some girlfriends) so, can anyone confirm this to be true?

Come to think of it, it might be more heart attacks are while on the toilet.
