It's for modulation and power mainly. I like the idea of disc brakes for cyclocross but so far, having tried cable operated discs, they just don't offer any improvement over cantilever brakes. I'd expect hydraulic brakes to be significantly better in terms of performance, and they'd work in even the shittiest conditions.
