AE Requesting move to covariance-based SEM

Submitted a paper and the AE likes it, but the AE wants us to move to covariance-based SEM.

I have looked at a couple of rebuttals, but there appears to be a strong movement in many journals to move away from PLS.

I have several papers where I have used covariance-based SEM, so migrating is not a large problem.

SmartPLS 3 is a great modeling tool, and the way it handles groups is outstanding. I would like to keep using it.

Any ideas, recent citations, or whatever.
