Folding tires

So, I feel like this is something I should know the answer to... why would I choose a folding tire over the same model with a wire bead? I see that folders are a little lighter and obviously can be packed, but is that it?

Are there benefits to the wire bead, other than saving a few bucks?

I'm considering Continental Gatorskins based on review and ease of pick up. I like the durability and puncture resistance.
