The other reason many give for mail being preferable is ease of field repairs. Is there any reason to suppose that a seg couldn't be repaired as easily in the field? Pre-cut spare parts and minimal riveting must have made it feasible? A large number of seg finds with odd and asymmetrical parts show the legionary wasn't particularly fussy as long as the gaps were filled.
