Skin-on-Frame: Putz vs. Morris

Is there a benefit to using a "lashed" type of kayak frame such as Morris suggests verses a more rigid frame that Putz describes? Will the rigid Putz type kayak be more susceptible to catastrophic failure (the frame breaking in half for example)? This is in reference to quiet water paddling, no open ocean and no wild rivers.
