The shorter connections could lead to faster rise times though, right? I.e. less capacitance or inductance interfering with getting the field gate charged up?
And the main loss with switching transistors is in the intermediate switching states where it has less than its "full" resistance.
I've been naively assuming they are now making high quality vias, so that circuit characteristics would be similar in either vertical or horizontal direction.
