Random note: it's not actually explicit that her brain is in her head. There's also room for it in her chest cavity. That said, there are advantages to minimizing the distance between the primary sensory nodes and the CPU.

Also, once we start talking multiple bodies and remote control, there's no point talking about where the main brain is housed, because at that level of technology the main body never needs to get involved at all--the advantages and disadvantages become moot. But that's also the level of consciousness uploading, which is canonically "years away." (Unless someone suggests another way to remotely control a human body with facility equal to actually being in the human body, lag-less and all.)

I'm sorry, was there logic somewhere in this leap?
