In short, the advantage is active rather than passive voltage regulation. With all digital, you can set, adjust and monitor the voltage regulation, rather than depending on the predetermined design of the hardware to do it for you.
How important is this to you? Depends on how much you OC, how dynamic your loads,(4 OC graphics cards in addition to an OC water cooled CPU) etc. etc.
If I was building a 4P system using GPU compute...I would certainly consider it.
For your average gaming system...a little overkill.
