Why do you need a touch and go with your IFR approach?

What's wrong with descending to DA/DH or above if higher cloudbase then going around and proceeding VFR to your airfield?

I've asked a local base (RAF Lakenheath) for a RAS (as it was called then) to cloudbreak a couple of times over a particularly flat part of East Anglia but each time they were initially pretty unkeen and needed some persuading.

On one occasion I was all ready to go to Cambridge for an ILS letdown before LKH agreed.
