like the titles says, what are the pros and cons for half-rads like some hondas have?

im about to change mine soon so i started thinking about this.
i have a 7a and no turbo/supercharger. so will i really benefit from this?

pros : you only put half the coolant

cons you have to dispose the other half coolant legaglly


pros: you have more space in your engine bay

cons: you have to figure out what to put in that space


Cons: youll engine will blow up faster

pros: you have a reason for a swap...
