Well,
Sooner or later you will have a hot trimmer. Philcos have a few. So it is better to have one tool rather than two.
Also, however small that could be, there is a capacitance between the shaft and the chassis and it is connected in parallel to your trimmer/padder. It might affect it little or more than that. Considering trimmers are small in the first place, even an extra pF or two can throw the alignment off.
One single wish I have is to have the tool with thin walls so it could fit through smaller openings. I had more than one case where either of two tools (one from Steve, one I bought on eBay from another vendor before) didn't fit through. My hot-formed ball pen tube did, so using a good material of the same thickness it is possible to make an actual slim tool.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
