Also, the first response on this thread is about how there are times you DON'T wanna push 123.
There are ways to work around combo trees; just leave the alternate finisher or alternate route as separate button(s).

The only situations consolidation wouldn't work for are ones where you'd want to start your combo over again without finishing it, and I can't really think of any situation where that would be a good idea.
