Especially if one is using software filtering on the host
collecting the entire stream (rather than the hardware
pid filters on the Prime).  While it is true that there is
no (known) MSO sending a single QAM stream encoded
at the full single stream rate (3D "demos" excluded),
having a lot of headroom is especially important for
those that want "cheap" switches, which cannot deal
well with micro-bursts, even if the overall rate is
reasonable.
