Default The logic behind fishmouth vice 30* ?

Looking thru 43.13, I see splices that use fishmouths and I see others
where the outer sleeve is simply cut at a 30* angle.

Can someone discuss the logic of why they use one cut over the other?

fishmouth takes up less linear space on the tube---(fits in a smaller
space) 30° is easier to weld.
