Having recently set up an octagon (which must be the simplest poly
after a square) without someone to hold the other end of the string
(yes, I was using a laser _as_well_ ...)   .  .  .    I would venture
to suggest 2n+1 poly's are just not 'marketable' ;-(>

The original question was about a particular usage, so yes the
generalities of 'ease of installation' do not kick in.

Always nice to have one's prejudices corrected though (thanks Dave) ...
anyone else ?
