This makes the analysis easier as you are still dealing with the original chord function rather than an ambiguous diminished chord (even though they are the same notes). Another neat idea that Wes Montgomery used is to harmonize a melody with chord inversions for melody notes that are chord tones and diminished chords for non-chord tones in the melody.
