To me, it just seems too complicated, too much additional cost, too...
I am a firm believer in K.I.S.S. If you start adding seperate delay charges (in LPR, which is what we're talking about), there is now additional weight to consider, which means a stronger, heavier parachute and so on and so on.
On top of this, you better have all the launch factors figured out because you don't leave much room for: slow deploying parachutes; weathercocking and other issues which if given the extra height might correct themselves.
Personally, I think it's more simple and a lot easier just to switch out the model's parachute for a chute with a spillhole or streamer.
