Is there any specific purpose for a prisim diagonal?

The reason I ask is that the old rule of thumb is that mirrors are generally better for short focal lengths such as diagonals in short fl refractors and the benefits of prisims tend to come out in long fl OTA's such as SCT's etc. I have to stress this is only an old rule of thumb.
