The seams are wide open in the Cover 3, especially if your run 4 verticals. Cover 2 is open right down the middle as well as the corner route depending on if it’s sink or hard flats. Cover 4 should lock up the seams. Cover 6 can be vulnerable to the seams, so overall you’re right. A lot of coverages are weak there.
