Hi Peter I think it more due to the fact that commercial bridges and meters 
really want to cover the widest range. There is obviously a problem with serial 
connected reactances when one is very much larger than the other. Then the 
nulls on bridges become shallow and ill defined. If you use a parallel 
arrangement this is not a problem. For most Amateur aerial cases you can get 
away with serial connection because there is not the need for the wide range 
needed for laboratory equipment.....10^3 compared with maybe 10^6.
