Actually, I installed the pair of tower-to-bulkhead braces at the same time as the tower-to-tower brace, so I can't distinguish the separate benefits from one or the other. But it just seemed logical to me that if I was stiffening the front end, I needed the triangular arrangement to really lock down any movement at the topside.
BTW, I don't have the lower braces (control arm-to-rear bushing "cup").

But I've found, as I'm sure you have, a substantial improvement -- I can take sharp turns on secondary roads like it's on rails -- the car follows a very precise track, much better than before.
