Absolutely!
And here is why:

It would disconnect us from the need to work in 2-byte L2/O2s altogether. We could create the L2/O2 using DEM2Terrain and move the L2/O2 immediately to a 4-byte pair. Then do all the work in 4-byte. It would SIMPLIFY the choices out there and make the process more efficient with less margin for error.

My 0.02 worth! ;)

You should spend your (coding) time to create new terrain rebuilder (SPTinstall) instead.

I believe Snake Man thinks the current Tinstaller proggie is too resource hungry because it maxes out memory and cpu resources when building the different levels of terrain.
