hi,
     he advantages are,
1) you can get a ten foot arc system into a car easy with a maggie.
2) the tank cap should be about half the size needed than for same
performance in two coil.
3) when arcs are going everywhere the only thing they hit is hv side (so
safer)
4) if like me you have small space in shop you can setup driver inside and
just run transmission line outside to resonator.
5) could bring interesting results as not many people have built them at
all.
6) more experiments can be done without risk of  things falling onto primary
and causing big probs, such as ion motors, flaming arcs and many more.
cheers
