AFAIK RCE posted somewhere, that geometry wise it's a bit more beneficial to gain camber at lower mount, and another thing - even if coilovers have camberplates, imho it's still worth to fine tune camber using camberbolts, simply due camber changes linked to toe changes and how alignments are usually done - car lifted on alignment rig, and suspension tech dialing toe & camber from below of car with wrenches on both camberbolts & toe adjuster, while watching values off rig's screen.
Imho adjusting via camberplates themselves make sense only if onsite when at track, for some track-specific, weather-specific adjustments right there during trackday. Then it might be easier to do from above, on non lifted car. Not so on alignment rigs. When i imagine how suspension tech may need to crawl up for camber adjust at camberplates on lifted car, then back down for toe adjustment, then maybe several such iteractions .. sounds awfully clumsy and time consuming.
