Flat or dished?

We all know about the higher efficiency of a curved or dished shield in front a flat one (at least for individual combat), just a physical-aerodynamical question but what about a large number of soldiers making a shield wall, fulcum or testudo? Aren't they easier to make with flat shields? I mean easier, not the only way... Just an idea.
