They also "have to" fund Wales, so I'm baffled why you think this would be a positive for Wales.
England would still have to fund Scotland for many, many years should they split from the UK.

Those on pensions or state benefits would claim that these would have to continue to be funded by Westminster as this is the system that people paid into in order to secure such benefits. Investments agreed for Scotland would likely have to be honoured by Westminster.

Over time the model would change but it would be very complicated.
