But that's exactly what I've said.

It just looks more clean, or 'elegant' as you say. But it makes no difference efficiency wise, which is really what counts. You could argue that format makes script more presentable, but one who prefers to read the elongated version would argue with you.

If there were a clear distinction between the two methods, besides not wanting to format via symbol concatenation, then I would agree that it would be best to use format.
