A few years back we had a huge issue with our state championship and teams bumpers. With only 30 teams at the event, you were queueing after only being in your pit for about 10 minutes. Teams with separate bumper sets had a lot of trouble making that turn around time... And let's face it, you want to spend that time on robot improvements, not changing your bumpers!. Good reversible bumpers look good and can be changed by one person in under a minute while standing in the queueing line. You just can't beat that!

I agree, we used reversible bumpers in 2014, and they were an absolute blessing. We rarely even needed to take our bumpers off, so being able to switch colors in 30 seconds in queue gave us one less thing to worry about. Definitely would recommend.
