workout splitter strength training: M/Tu/Th/Fri vs M/W/F ?

Background: Started lifting primarily Strength/powerlifting focused this year (squats, bench, deads) . I split my days into upper, lower.
past 2 months have been on a M/Tu/Th/Fri split with satisfactory results. I am planning on changing it up for the next 2 months to M/W/F split. Interested to see if I respond to having an extra rest day. Cramming into 3 days/week will force me to consolidate my workout. planning on the following:
Mon: squats, RDLs, bench, shoulder press, pull-ups, accessories if time
Wed: deadlifts, weighted pull-ups, accessories focused on back/pull/lower
Fri: squats, bench, overall similar to Monday
Anyone found any detrimental or beneficial results condensing their splits?

I like it the routine.
I've done mostly 4 days for years and recently changed up to 3 times a week because of schedule. I will say I loved having that 4th day to help get some extra exercises in to try and hit everything twice a week however if you're keeping your workouts 1) intense 2) getting enough volume on those 3 days you'll be fine.

I’ve had great results with both, but prefer the 4-day as a matter of personal preference. Reason being is that 3-day splits feels like it pigeon holes me into full body workouts and I tend to overdo it or take too long for the workout with those. I don’t think either approach is inherently wrong and it’s just about what fits your schedule and what you’re trying to achieve.

Seems excessive
