An extra argument for paying later is that if your opponent isn't top notch, s/he will have a harder time playing out the position.

To some extent this seems to be true even of XG1 3-ply. I'm not sure if XG2 is any different, but XG1 3-ply has a tendency to flood its inner table with blots in mutual holding games if it doesn't matter too much what you do. However, it will then occasionally screw up a pay-now-or-later decision; these tend to be trickier when the home board has four or five blots in it. I'm not sure how much this weakness affects 3-ply rollouts.
