Interestingly...maybe?!?!...extending the length by this method is normally only true when you have a cross over jumping over the straight! Otherwise you end up shortening the diagonal to get the return track around one end of it! The other thing it does is to put sharper corners at either end of the straight too, but that's not always a bad thing.
Good thread though...good comments being made for both options. I hadn't considered the field of vision part of it before!
