Advantages of multiplying drivers?


Can anyone briefly explain what are the advantages /disadvantages of multiplying drivers (Triangle Magellan, Tyler Woodmere to name a couple) vs. more traditional designs (1 tweeter, 1 medium, 1 woofer)?
My intuition would be to allow for better vertical imaging but at the expense of integration and since this is the true Art & Science of speaker building, why would anyone flirt with the disintegration risk?

Better horizontal imaging if the drivers are arranged vertically and if the cabinet width is reduced.
