Center across selection can in most cases replace the merged cells.
I would strongly advice against using it, to maybe gain a tiny bit when it
comes to appearance but losing a giant step when it comes to usability is
not really the best way

Don't use merged cells!

What else would create the same appearance? i.e., the number in cell
A1-merge-A2 appears, and needs to be entered, once, not twice. That
merging
allows the number to be centered is fine, but not essential.
