I have used the 4 fields since the Geo Location Database first came out. The facility to suppress double commas in printing is sufficient for output, as the second field is blank. I have encouraged many in our LUG to follow suit.
Advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Then comes the matter of personal preference.

Ron, I have to disagree as the 4 field convention is not only an American idea but also used in many other countries around the world. eg. Australia, Austria, Germany and if I remeber right in Switzerland. BTW, as you live in England what do your neighbours living in Irland, Scotland and Wales think of this ;-).

Tony, I am tempted to ask what 4 field convention? I do not use this American idea, and it only affects the Geolocator. It has no effect on anything else. Indeed the Bing mapping will even take you to the street provided that it still exists. Legacy Locations can accept up to 9 fields (I think - without checking). The only other thing I do is to set the Location List to read from right to left, so that I can easy see which people are next to/near each other. BTW. being from England myself I learned a long time ago that the 4 field convention does not work for most of our locations, oh! and I do not put any of those extra commas in.
