I'm just not a fan of NZ sphagnum. I've tried it on its own in the past, but I think it stays too wet for too long (at least under my growing conditions). Now, since I only use a single layer of it in the clay pots, the moss dries out over the course of the day, which means that I have to water every day during the growing season--but that's okay since I only have a small collection of neofinetias and I like the level of control it gives me. The other reason is that I don't like the look of such small plants perched on top of a mountain of sphagnum; to me it just looks a little comical (but this is an opinion and I'm certainly not trying to be hypercritical of the "classic" method of potting plants of this species).
