It's not necessarily redundant, since you might want to have different sizes for the sliders (or whatever control you use). Take a look at this example:
Column[{Style["Different size sliders in the same row", 13, "Label"], Manipulate[ Module[{}, Graphics[{{Line[{p1, p2, p3, p1}], White, Disk[p1, 0.02]}, Style[Text["A", p1], Background -> White, Bold, Italic, 12,"Label"], Style[Text["B", p2], Background -> White, Bold, Italic, 12, "Label"], Style[Text["C", p3], Background -> White, Bold, Italic, 12, "Label"]}, PlotRange -> {{-0.2, 1.2}, {-0.2, 1}}]],Row[{Spacer[35], Control[{{p1, {0, 0}, "A"}, {0, 0}, {1, 1}, ImageSize -> 25}], Spacer[50], Control[{{p2, {1, 0}, "B"}, {0, 0}, {1, 1}, ImageSize -> 50}], Spacer[50], Control[{{p3, {0.5, 0.5}, "C"}, {0, 0}, {1, 1}, ImageSize -> 75}]}]]}]
