Partially because I had screwed up a little. I had run the brake lines (and decided on the location of the chassis tab) when the car was up on stands, so suspension was at full droop. Rookie mistake. When it was on floor.. and then even worse when at approx ride height, the tab was too low and the flex lines were not running nicely over the rear. I could fix that by moving the tab and flex lines.. it seemed a better choice to move calipers and put the tab and calipers closer to each other and nothing for flex line to rub against.

Another factor was the seemingly nicer routing of handbrake cable - admittedly i haven't done that yet but I liked the "around and back" radius rather than under the rear route. Once I knew it could be done pretty easily, it just felt right
