I think the big advantage is: No mechanical shock.

right, which is good for low light macro work. i was doing some tonight and trying focus stacking. then i noticed my shutter speed won't go slower than 1/8. focus stacking wouldn't let me change to mechanical shutter, which makes sense because of the slow shutter speed. i was wide open at f2.8 using an olympus 60mm macro with my e-m1. i had no choice but to either use a flash or put more light on the subject. it was underexposed at f2.8 and 1/8 at iso 800. i didn't want to go above iso800 due to noise.
