If I remember right, the original purpose of the back vent was to allow the coat to drape correctly while the man is riding a horse. So, if you'll be riding a horse, you need a back vent. Otherwise, double side vents probably work better.
You're probably right. Today its purpose is to save fabric... Double venting requires more fabric and wider cuts.
