Is there any advantage to drilling over punching?

Oops. Sorry, that's correct.
My experience has been that the tool is quick and uniform and makes wider holes for the saddle stitch. The drilled holes gives a nice effect with the round hole and in many instances I like it better. It's time consuming but then all good craftsmanship is.
