Says who? all you have to do is match their speeds. Plenty of teams have done it. 45, 494, 188, etc.

And there's definitely an advantage. If you figure out how to keep the FP's cool, and not draw a ton of current with them, you've got a 5th and 6th CIM in your transmission, for all practial purposes
