Yes, each version has its pros and cons.  The child-frame version has
the benefit of not occupying a complete line if the context string is
shorter.  Another hypothetical benefit is that, in a future
grammar-aware emacs buffer (tree-sitter), the context string could be
tweaked to be "semantically sensible", e.g., with

  if (foobar
      && quux % 2 == 0)
    {
      ...
    }<== point here!

it could show the complete multi-line if+condition rather than only
"&& quux % 2 == 0)...{".
