The main advantage is that I can easily move from a manual to another while I can only have one info buffer opened in Emacs, or maybe I have not yet found the way to keep a number of manuals opened at the same time in Emacs. You can have as many Info buffers as you like, just rename them to *info* where NN is a number. Then you can invoke info-display-manual and get back to the manual you want, or even use "C-u NN C-h i" if you happen to remember the number. I routinely have several dozen Info manuals in my Emacs sessions.
