Is there an advantage or disadvantage to a 2-piece versus a 3 or 4

Some folks say they can feel the difference that a non-flexing joint
can make. I can't, but I'm so old there are a lot of things I can't
feel. There is, however, that old saying that the more things there
are, the more things there are to go wrong -- slipping joints, splits,
scratches, dings, etc.
From my point of view. the only advantage is portability if you are
backpacking or like to carry a rod in the trunk of your MG.
