Its a compound miter in multiple planes, the down leg wouldn't be "virtical" or seam well without. I tried for hours to fudge it close, but with fish plates this will just be cleaner, look better, and ultimately shouldn't be any weaker. Just another joint. Tue plates cover all 3 pc of each bend with one plate.
