Except the 135/4.5 has a huge image circle. The modern 60 macro can't do this:

In addition, I find the "twist, slide, twist" of the TET to be MUCH quicker
than the "twist, twist, twist, TWIST!" of the 60 macro. I can focus from 1:2 to
infinity while the guy with the 60 is still fiddling with his auto-focus range
limiting switch.
