Yep, which is exactly why I carefully chose my words; "...optimized for a travel case." If the primary usage is to break the bike down and stick it in a car, putting couplers in front of the seat post makes the most sense. But if airline travel is also in the mix, one might want to check to be sure that such a configuration could also be stashed in a travel case.
I think we're all pretty much in agreement here.
