Less headaches? I don't think it's fair to draw that conclusion. Yes, you can get a bigger drop... but there are certainly challenges with this method as well.

I agree. Same hassle but more drop.

The 'Z' also requires a competent weld from someone that knows what they're doing. The crossmember notch can be pulled off by a novice welder.
