Default Crossover pipe flanges

My crossover has a three bolt flange on the driver side and the standard v band flange on the passenger side. Has anybody ever flanged the passenger side instead of using the v band? Any pros or cons to doing this?

It's 2 flanges bolted together.
1 is casted to my manifold.
1 is welded to the crossover

Sorry no pic showing that exact thing

No clearance issues.
No bolts and nuts. We use studs in the manifold. Simple Extention and socket gets to to all bolts pretty easy.

Ah ok. Don't sell the passenger pair? I just want to change my vband setup to a stud setup for better sealing
