This is assuming no chuuha though right?

Punching some values into the calculator, chuuha'd KTKM's night attack power (after DA/Cut-in modifiers). Assuming no mistakes:

2x 15.5 Secondary + Hyoteki: 191 damage

2x Quint torp + Hyoteki: 249 damage

Suddenly, the difference is quite noticeable. Then there's also the fact that cut-in rates increase when they get chuuha'd, which make the mentioned risk of failure less of a problem.

I'm not sure about you but my CLTs were getting chuuha'd quite frequently during E5 hard. From a realistic point of view, I think the fact they may reach the boss in a damaged state is significant factor and should be taken into account.

TL;DR Cut-in becomes more attractive when CLT is chuuha'd
