Wye do this?

I thought it just saved some space. Maybe it looks cooler too haha

I used B to access my yard on my current layout because I thought it was cool.  The wye is on the inter loop of a 3-track oval mainline.  I didn't have the extra inches for A on the inner loop.  As result I gave up 37" of length (3 car's worth) on every yard track.  At the time the loss of storage didn't seem critical as the yard is on a 18' by 4' peninsula.  However, every turnout in the yard ladder costs you another storage spot. So what I thought would be plenty of storage wasn't (when dealing with full length passenger cars and lashups).  My work around is to move the wye to the outside loop and elevate the two inner loops.

Let me start by agreeing with both of you: it does look cooler. My first thought when I saw B was, "that looks interesting."

@Jan At first glance I knew it was longer, but I wasn't thinking twice as long! Considering I'm making a ladder too, I see your point. Real estate is a lot smaller once I started drawing this out in the app. The length of the last track is looking pretty sad.
