We don't think it makes things easier. If you are making your own plugs, you want the extra pins in place to hold the connector body on the RC pins. If you have modified a PWM cable to splice to the sensor, you would want to have a single cable in case the PWM cable goes bad. For best noise isolation, it is best to run a parallel ground lead with the sense lead since the flow of current is from the RC power supply back to the RC ground system.
