Every time I get in a round table QSO on CW or SSB, nobody is on the same frequency. Being able to QSX on your TX frequency when working split lets you tune the net control in so that you will be TX on his freq and use the other RX to copy the other guys who can't seem to zero beat the NCS frequency. This keeps your TX on the correct frequency while allowing you to move the main RX around. You can do that with the A and B VFOs also, but it is a bit more difficult. I guess when it comes down to it it depends on how much you want to spend for convenience.
