The 1600 workshop near you does an excellent job of seam welding....
The main benefits are if you are fitting high horsepower engines... As engines tend to twist and distort engine bays (transmitted through the engine mounts) the "factory" spot welds can break. Seam welding primarily strengthens these "factory" welds. If you dont like seam welding (with a mig) then you can run more spot welds (prob costs heaps more though). Overall it does stiffen up the car, which is why you only weld for about an inch and then leave a 2-3 inch gap.. to still allow for flex, and to stop cracks.
