I agree, though I don't see anything inherently more clear using one method 
over the other.  I will say, however, that the "IF" statement seems "cleaner", 
if that makes any sense.

I wonder if the origin of the "two case" CASE was the opposite of this, in that 
it started with multiple cases, and was eventually whittled down to two.

Makes FUTURE maintenance MUCH easier if you want to add 1 or 2 or 5 more cases
