Subject line says it all. In light of the fact that VFR on top subjects
you to both VFR and IFR constraints, why would anyone ever choose to fly
VFR on top? I can only think of two possible reasons:


You can fly IFR thought the clouds, come out on top in clear skies,
cancel IFR and then fly VFR (VFR over the top). Or you can fly IFR
through the clouds and remain 'in the system' as you fly VFR (VFR on top)
and if there are more clouds ahead or at your final airport you don't have
to call ATC again.
