The only disadvantage I've heard of is that some headboat fishermen feel that the line underneath the rod is more vulnerable to getting cut when fsihermen are doing the Tuna shuffle.

Not sure how this is a disadvantage. Are spinning rods more susceptible to cutting too?

My heaviest acid rod is a Calstar 655xxh built with USG guides and biggest tuna on it so far is 186# caught on the Royal Star out of San Diego.

With the transition from top to bottom occurring past the stripper guide, I don't see how or what would be cutting the line.
