Out of Interest is there a benefit to using such chambering/cutting patterns other than the weight reduction from chambering a body?

Now that I nearly have my sloppy a$$, amateurish, totally skunky first build under my belt, I have a totally new appreciation for the skill on display here. How clean is this thing? And frankly, I'm usually not a fan of the single-cutaway body style, but I WANT this this instrument like a dog wants a bone.
Cheers.

Additional request for Wreck:
