Let's say you move 14 "squares" diagonally. As the crow flies, this is about 19.8 squares of distance and will take 21 squares of 1-2-1 movement. Effectively, you have been forced to use an extra square of movement. This is against the extra 5.8 squares of movement that moving 1-1-1 has sped your character by in only taking 14 squares to traverse the same distance.
While neither is perfect, 1-2-1 would appear by any fair analysis to be substantially more accurate/fairer.
