I've built that way for more than 30 years. I was advised to do it that way by Charles Fox, but there are others who also do so.
Mr. Gore's latest books suggest reducing the radius on the transverse brace, to less than the curvature of the dish. This reduces the amount, he suggests, that the top needs to be thinned to be flat in the area of the fingerboard extension, if using a radiused transverse brace.
To turn the question around, who advised you to radius the transverse brace? (Most likely, it became popular when people started using radiused dishes/forms.)
