It is also depends on the patient...what he wants,
if the patient is over 40 and he has a good donor supply and he had a previous procedure with an acceptable scar and he like his hair to be longer, there is no reason to go for only FIT, you can do the strip and get a very thin scar with 3000-4000 grafts and then fill in were it is required with FIT.
This is a very good combination...
A younger patient can have more chance of further hair loss, The FIT gives him the choice to stop and just shave is head in the warse scenario or when he got old and don't want to deal with his hair anymore.
A scar from strip can prevent him from doing that and he will have to deal with hair transplants maybe all his life
