The advantages of topping a plant, this is generally for people who are limitted on space. Weed grows sort of like a Christmas tree (tall in the middle) which makes it difficult to grow due to height restrictions. It also makes it difficult for the light (placed above the plant) to reach the lower branches.

I think you misunderstood something, when you top a plant properly (kinda like you mentioned above) this forms several "MAIN COLAS" not just the one in the center. All of the colas will (or should) grow just as big and healthy as the main cola would have grown. Plus this method allows the plant to grow a nice, relatively level canopy which you can then place the lights directly on top, thus maximizing light absorbtion by the plant, exactly where they need it, on the main buds.

Hope this helps ya
