They are FULL 2.5 N-s As and 5 N-s Bs at 5000-feet ASL elevation. Plus the A3-6 and B4-6 have delays that you can't get anywhere else. These performance attributes are desired by some people, particularly NAR and FAI competition fliers.
If all you want is to do some general flying, then I agree that there is no advantage.
