The trade off would be having to adjust for pad wear?

You always have to adjust for pad wear with a mechanical brake regardless of whether the second side moves or not. If you only use the cable adjuster, you end up with a really dead-feeling brake.

So with dual action you'd have to undo the bolt tighten the cable redo the bolt. Whereas dual action would require me to also adjust the non-actuated pad with the bolt on the side? I've only briefly used mechanical disk brakes but never got on with them, this might be what I've been doing wrong.
