For me their main advantage is that they require less lever effort for the same braking force. It really is noticable. It may mean little if you're in the drops and can work the levers from the spot farthest from the pivot but if you're up on the hoods a lot as I am and your braking effort on the lever takes place close to the pivot point the extra leverage at the caliper makes a big difference.
