With mainlining if you micro manage the plants and use stakes to keep all the branches equally spaced like a table top start to finish you can achieve record yields but it's 5 times more work than just topping them and if you don't do it right you can ruin a plant.
The plant on the left is not main-lined it's only topped whereas the plant on the right is main lined. If you notice, there isn't a huge difference other than the topped plant has less equal height branches, even with training and moderate net training. They are different strain plants but as you can see I can speak for both methods.

The last picture, that plant yielded 36 ounces (2.2 lbs) of dry trimmed bud under a 1,000 W HPS Double-Ended Gavita. The plant was so hefty that the dual layer netting couldn't even support it with stakes as well....
