The thing is, the link would only be for the chapter header. So if you are in the middle of a chapter, it's a lot easier to bring up the external ToC then it is to find a link or find the internal ToC. It takes me three presses to go to the external ToC from anyplace inside the book. That is not what I would call a hardship. But having the Chapter header linked back to an internal ToC does not look as nice as not having that link. Also, it takes extra screen turns to get past the internal ToC. And in some eBooks that have a very large number of chapters, that can be a lot of extra page turns. If we don't need/want to use the ToC, the external ToC does not get in the way at all. If we do need/want to use it, the external ToC is better.
I'm not saying that I want the intext ToC over the meta-ToC menu, just that if there is a intext ToC, I prefer it to be linked. For most things, having the ToC menu is preferred, but on the chance you're looking at the intext ToC, you should be able to jump immediately to something without pulling up the other ToC.
