chainline - it's a lots smoother than a triple, less wear and tear in the long run, less fiddling with indexing the derailleur, and of course a tiny weight saving advantage.
Currently, the chainline is spot-on when the chain is on the 18t (with 46), and that's the gearing I used all the time.
but mainly it feel really smooth, the chain don't 'bend' as much as it would in a triple (especially with a shorter chainstay).
