Indeed.  One benefit I can imagine to justify a change is to support  
multi-homing without having to know or do BGP-fu or figure out how to  
get (and pay for) your ISPs to accept/announce your prefix(es).  From  
the ISP perspective, you'd look like a normal single-homed customer.  
Obviously this would apply for either push or pull systems.
