Considerably greater OTH range? Plus completely killer direct-fire kinetic energies, which is actually applicable to another kind of target: anti-air.
And no gunpower or other chemical propellants, which means your warship's warload is all projectile, no propellant (higher fraction of carried mass on-target).
But other than those, yeah, no advantage whatsoever.
