The advantage in this is that the joint — so long as it is properly cut — forces the faces of adjoining boards to come flush as you clamp them. Beyond that, use the bit to cut a drawer-lock joint that I believe is stronger than the conventional routed drawer lock. In addition to the interlocking tabs of the conventional joint, this one has an extra shoulder or two that can give the joint just a little extra resistance to racking stress.
