Why would re using the old Thrust Bearings be better than using new ones of the same size?

Bit of a "religious" debate... the old-style thrust bearings are built using 3 separate parts and have about twice the thrust surface area of the new bearing design (one part with an integrated lip on both sides). There have been some reports of the new design self-machining the crank surface.... the idea being half the surface area equals double the force on the crank.
So, some people buy two sets of bearings, toss the thrust bearing, and re-use 2 of the 3 pieces of the old thrust bearing along with a new shell.

new oil filter and i have the windage tray that comes with the reusable rubber gasket.
i bought assembly lube & quickseat from total seal too. i'm probably buying a new oil pump just to be sure... and water pump too.
