so there is no technical/mechanical reason why it's better - just stylistic reasons; which are objective.
And you are relying on your partner anticipating that it's a first move so that your lead can stop before it reaches the lady's far hip.
I do the leg sweep sometimes (ronde?), but only when I push the lady out and release the left hand. I don't think it can be done by actually leading a true first move properly.
