Rightly or wrongly, I feel more visible and slightly less vulnerable riding diamond frame on the hilly, narrow public roads I ride. Further, I rise from the saddle for leverage on several climbs on every ride I take. Topography, for healthy living.
Then there's the chain thing.... 
My current short wheelbase recumbent bike is about due for a new chain. Tried to order a 12 foot chain from two normally-reliable online sources but both out of stock (supply
chain issues, etc.) Got three normal sized chains instead - needs about two and a half. Bike not bad to get foot/leg over. Version with large front wheel more of a challenge for those without longish legs.
