How exactly would using a rear-entry wrench improve the process? You obviously already have the barrel vise and nut wrench, and it takes all of two minutes to swap out a barrel using these tools (add a minute or two and a few curse words if it's the original installed barrel) so what's to improve? You will still need one or both of the aforementioned tools to remove the barrel with the rear-entry wrench so where's the benefit?

The benefit of the barrel vise/nut wrench combo is that it puts zero stress on the action so there is zero chance of twisting it, whereas with an action wrench and/or rear-entry wrench (depending on design) it's quite easy to twist the action if either is used carelessly or improperly.
