      I can't comment on the structural pros/cons but can tell you that
      the 600 plate is still in fine condition after 30+ years.  It
      bothers me as well since even after a good rainfall water collects
      there, but if properly painted it shouldn't be a big problem. 
      Maybe give it some extra coats in that area.<br clear="none">
