You get more flexebility/mobility/firepower per division than before, and if you take a dwindeling manpower into account the idea doesn't seem stupid does it?

I don't think it's stupid but would'nt it take more trains to get more Panzers to the front. As mentioned, with limited rail lines that are always under partisan attack.
Also, 5 men per tank vs. 5 more troops that could protect them with Germany's limited manpower. Even Tigers were vunerable without infantry support.Not to mention, they would need more trucks to carry all the spare parts and gasoline for the additional armor.
