One of the biggest benefit is simply the rims can be strong and light at the same time.
The Mavic XM719 in 26" weight as much as the H+Son Archetype while being stronger and wider.
Even lighter with disc brakes, ZTR Crest is a mere 340g in 26" which is lighter than the lightest 700c rims brake wheel out there.
