Better balance, less noise, less vibration on the machine (thus, less repair), no need to get QC Adaptors, to name a few.
Here is a link that may give you other reasons.

Well, there are THOUSANDS of folks using the Quick Chuck that came with the machine and not having big issues with it. While I like the idea of the Quick Change chuck, I think it requires to much cleaning and care for a lot of folks and so they find the 'Rock' easier to use.

I also like the idea of a more versatile chuck that lets a wider selection of bits to be used. There again there is the downside of folks trying to use improper bits and damaging their machine.
