The one benefit that someone pointed out a while back (perhaps it was Shawn?), is that you could make a hard travel cover for the cockpit. That would be cool.

: I always rejoice when I get to the cockpit, because the stripping is much
: easier if you only have to worry about fitting one end.

: On some designs stripping all the way over the cockpit may introduce some
: unfair curves to the strips outside the cockpit area.

: If you really want to, just double check that the strips look good and go
: ahead. But can't think of any benefit in doing so.
