My contention has always been that the Utica Av (A,C) station was mis-designed from the start. The station shell for the Stuyvesant subway should have been placed UNDER the Fulton subway, not above. Since the Fulton subway was definite while the Stuyvesant subway was only a proposal, and of course has never been built, the riders of the Fulton subway must climb extra stairs every time to exit the unnecessarily deep station, which the unused shell pushed further down.

While the same could theoretically be said about E B'way (F), at least there the active station must be deep because of the river tube. There's no excuse at Utica; the first to become active should have been above the other.
