Nico is right about convenience. Still, I experienced inconsistent reads almost every time I used 20cm wires. (Yes, I checked the wires and the clip for resistivity or loose connections, etc.) I experienced almost no inconsistent reads with 10cm wires. When I shielded the 10cm wires with earthed aluminium foil, I got entirely consistent reads. Unfortunately, this is much less convenient to handle than unshielded 20cm leads.
