Shorty Headers

I'm going to be building a 360 in the near future, so I'm starting to think about things now. The engine will be mild, and used as a daily driver. I have another car with 340 exhaust manifolds on it, so I want to run headers on this car. As of now, I'm thinking shorty headers.... most likely TTI. My thinking is this.... full size headers seem like '60s-'80s technology. They hang down so far, there are fitment issues etc. New cars that are performance oriented basically have shorty headers on them from the factory.

I'd like to hear what you all have to say about shorty headers... pro or con. Thanks for the input.
I put Dougs in my 70 Duster. Fitment was ok, had to slightly modify some of the tubes because they touched the torsion bars (I replaced the OE bars with 1.03). Ground clearance is excellent. I'd do it again.
