Adirondack Mountain Sauna

I finally got my sauna done! Thanks to those who gave great feedback in a previous research post.

It was a bit of work getting the Amish builder to deviate from their normal standard, but I got the flat ceiling and raised benches.

The only real request they did not follow was the exhaust vent. The intake vent is correct, to the right of the heater and 8 inches off the floor. But, I wanted the exhaust vent above the benches on the back wall. He placed it on the front wall, next to the big window. So, it is on the wall opposite the sitting positions. (You can see the disk vent in the last picture on the right side.) I have a changing room, so it can't go on the opposite wall of the stove.

My thought was that the airflow and perhaps the loyly, would better flow across the bathers if the exhaust vent was on the upper corner of the bench side on the back wall. Am I wrong? Does it matter?

Should I add a vent in that location?

UPDATE: Thanks for the comments.
Should I add a vent over the benches? That is the main question I need to decide on.
