I'm sure you are quite right, but there are other considerations. For a fairly low budget working band, that has to set up and tear down in a hurry, sometimes in near darkness, for those times when you don't even get a soundcheck, and nobody is a trained audio tech anyway, the internal mount has lots of advantages. In a studio, where getting the absolute best possible sound is the only consideration, maybe it isn't the best choice. But for my application, I find that it works the best for me. There is good consistency, isolation, ease of use, speed of setup/teardown, and really the sound is quite good. I've heard other people sit in and play my kit, and I like the way it sounds through the PA, so that's good enough for me. I can just worry about my playing, lol!
