The benefit is it is a larger frame pump - similar in size to a conventional floor pump with a longer hose. I'd prefer the increase in size/ergonomics over the Turbo Morph Digital.

It is a nice looking pump, but at over a kilogram, not for me.
The high volume version of the Lezyne Micro Floor Drive took a while for me to pump up my 57mm wide tires when I assembled my bike after flying to another country, but I would rather trade the extra 10 minutes it took me that month to keep my tires pumped up with a pump that weighs 211 grams (not counting bracket weight).
I bought one of these on a whim at a closeout sale, very similar to the one you cited, but at 280 grams, still heavier than I would want to carry on a tour. I have this on one of my bikes for riding around home. Excluding bracket, mine is 273 grams.

The only reason I bought it (besides clearance price) was that I hoped I could read the gauge without glasses. It has a little pointer that I need glasses to set it, but do not need glasses to see the pointer.
But, if you want to carry 1.1 kg pump on a tour, go ahead. Nobody has ever accused me of being an ultra light camper, but even I would not lug around a 1.1 kg pump.
If you were part of a family group of half a dozen riders, I could see one of those for group use on a tour.
