Thanks for all the replies; it seems there is an advantage as long as
there is not too much 12V 'only' stuff to replace.

One of the things that I have used on multi-voltage vessels, is to
setup the 32-24/12 VDC Converter as a Battery Charger. Then have it
charge a large (D8 type) battery that then supplies the 12 Vdc Buss.
This way you can have Large Current devices, that are intermitant in
nature, on the 12 Vdc Buss but still keep use a fairly small current
converter to keep the battery charge up.
