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.

Moore's law is working for you.
