You could use several MFCs for the same reason, to reduce overkill without introducing delays between salvoes.
I already spread my fire controls out anyway as I always spread my beam weapons among pretty much all combat ships. If you ever happen to be forced into a beam shootout it is quite advantageous to have beam weapons on all ships not just some of them which can be just concentrated and picked off leaving the rest defenceless. For the same reason I rarely completely make ships only with one single function unless they are really small.
