Is there an advantage or disadvantage to a 2-piece versus a 3 or 4
piece rod, other than the easier portability of a rod that can be
transported in a shorter case?

I've always gone for 2 piece because they supposedly cast better. As soon
as I casted a couple where I couldn't tell the difference, I decided my next
rod will be a 4 piece that is easily transportable carry-on on a plane, and
easily packable in a backpack.
