Other than the extra $14, which I don't care about when amortized over
a bunch of projects, can anyone provide any reasons why I shouldn't
use TBIII for everything?

Go for it. I've been using III almost exclusively for the past year.
Although I do/did have a quart of II left over from previous projects and
have lately been using it up before I buy more III.

I like III for its longer open time and lower temperature range use ...
although the latter doesn't come in to play here in Texas very often, I
actually brought a bottle of II into the house night before last for use
yesterday morning due to unseasonably chilly weather.

I would not have felt the need with III.

I can read all the data sheets I want, but was hoping someone was
doing what I want to do. Just to be sure...

IMHO the shelf life may be shorter on the TBIII than with the TBII.. I had
to toss a small container of TBIII that was half full and was about the same
age as some TBII. Both were about 2 years old. Franklin sent me a case of
small bottles of TBIII and the last bottle went bad. If you are using a
gallon every 10 months you should not have a problem.

How did it go bad? I've used TBI and TBII that was several years old and
didn't experience any problems with bond strength. The only thing I did was
mix a little water back in to get the consistency right.... What am I
missing? Will the joints eventually fail?

which leads me to my experience with TBIII, the glue I bought was very thick
and difficult to spread. Is this usual? If not I'll water it down a tad
and see if it still works correctly.

Not yet,. but I probably will. I like the GF2002 from Lee Valley for
interior work, but I sometimes need an outdoor glue. Why carry both when
one works well for everything?

It got darker aroung the top of the glue and became hard.

I don't recall the glue being very thick however in the winter it is
thicker. TBII is almost too runny during the summer in Houston.
