Fewer bugs, indeed, due to the streamlining. There is also the more subtle benefit of different types of pages conforming to the same layaout parameters, as the reader moves from one page to the next. This allows the eye and mind to focus more on the content itself rather than having to reassess the overall appearance of each new page. And editors and admins, as Eric said, "only need to make changes once rather than multiple times as individual features are moved to the grid."
