Another advantage or something to think about is durability. The shorter (Stiffer) chassis will last longer simply because it does not flex as much.
Plus the things already mentioned shorter, easier to load and maneuver around, fits in most garages and trailers better leaving more room for other stuff.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

As for weight, 3 ft of tubing x 4 = 12 ft total for 4 frame rails, 1 sheet less of aluminum for the body = 20 lbs @ .040. Battery cable to the front is 3 ft shorter too. I will say they are near 30 lbs lighter. JMO !
