Last year at TTR, someone (I think Texican (Butch)) broke the weld right through where the C&T had been done. The heat effected zone right around where it is cut, heated, and re-welded looses strength when you do all that. Those gussests which get welded above and below that area take care of it. Like I said, I havent done it with either rig I've SOAed, but after seeing that FJ40 with a broken out knuckle-ball, I think its worth the $25 bucks for insurance alone.
