My initial thought of the technique used by Yoav on this Meteor was that a single seam along the demarcation line was good enough. However, making a seam along any panel line is probably better than one on the bottom.
But,,,,,,,, every model section may have a different seam location. While geometrically it makes no difference where the seam is located, it will make the rendering and coloring a bit more challenging. I do see it as a worthwhile method that should be adopted by more designers.
