Is there a reason not to use SIP over TCP?

I think in the past I thought retransmits were irrelevant in a realtime app, but the latency is low enough sometimes now that maybe it would actually help.  And TCP seems to traverse NAT more easily.

I have a couple customers that I let take phone handsets home, the Grandstream PBX is at our office.  It seems that if the SIP traffic comes in one upstream, but leaves another upstream, really weird things happen.

The Phone registers to the PBX just fine, and can receive calls all day long, it just cannot make calls.  If I take a /24 and force it to enter and leave the network via the same provider, then everything works fine.  Those of you that have multiple diverse paths, have you seen something like this?  The Call in UDP Mode fails, the call in TCP mode will succeed.

This only appears to be an issue with the handset talking to the PBX.  All of our Sip Trunk traffic (Voip Innovations) works just fine.  For some reason the handset SIP re-invite never makes it back to the handset when multi-homing is in place.
