There are several very important non-security related advantages, not
the least of which is that it's likely to be close to what the IETF
eventually publish.

However for me the ability to support working flow control is the
biggest benefit and I would have switched even if there had been no
security issues with the first version of the protocol or its
implementation(s).  I've wanted working flow control in SSH since before
SSH was widely used!
