It's not the latch -- the seatbelt is just as effective, and no harder to tigthen. It's not having the tether, and even without the tether, the seat seems more secure in the outboard position with back of the front passenger seat just against it. It's also much easier to take her in and out without bumping my head or hers.
As a practical matter, you can of course LATCH in the center, but center LATCH installations have not been tested, although in theory the protection should be the same so long as the distance on center is the same or close to what it is in the outboards. But of course, b/c it's not tested, no manufacturer - whether carseat or auto -- will say it's ok.
