The best argument is that it allows you to run the MC balanced.
I've never heard that one.

Or is it balanced via RCA?
My SME tonearm cable has perpetually confused me with RCA connectors on both ends, but 2 grounding wires -- one for a balanced, and other for an unbalanced connection.
[The $4699 AT-SUT1000 has both RCA and XLR inputs. But...damn....$4.7k for a SUT!]
