What's good about hardening while still in flats is that they can live outside on good days, it frees up room under the shop lights for more...and, most important, those certain tomato varieties that get the "crud" on cotyledon and first true leaves (heart shaped varieties especially, but also a few others, such as Mortgage Lifter and Kellogg's Breakfast) do much better in sun than under lights.
