What is the advantage of a 'batch job' over simple .ffs_gui?

I presume that the batch file is to run a sync job (configuration) automatically using a scheduler. I read somewhere that even the .ffs_gui can be made to run using Task scheduler. If that's the case what's the added advantage of a batch file? It just saves one step: Compare to Sync.

Can I add multiple sync jobs (configurations) in a single batch file. That is the only advantage I can see...

PS: I just learnt how to sync multiple configurations from here: viewtopic.php?t=1136
