OK, I get it now. Lasts shorter, but during that time, you don't have to do anything. That's good. Fewer tools. That's good. And no guessing about what happens when you mix cups and spindles, etc, i.e. no improvising and wondering how far the chainwheels will be from the centerline. That's very good.
