For some teams welding isn't a good enough resource to rely on. For 973 we completely switched over last season because we didn't have a person who could weld in house or a sponsor who could weld overnight.
Gussets allow for a margin of error, if it is a little off you can redo the rivets. And everything can be assembled in house in 1 day.
