Strip: 3/8" cove and bead cutter?

After seeing John Skinners 3/16" strips that were cut with 1/4" cutters, I am thinking that cutting 1/4" strips with 3/8" cutters would produce the same less fragile coves and the glue lines would be closer to a plane matched joint than the full cove and bead glue lines. There must be a good reason for not using the larger cutters but it is eluding me. Any thoughts? What am I missing?

Why bother with a full bead and cove? *Pic*
