Well...

1 - It makes life easier for those using versions older than Lion. Bundled
psql is 8.4 and this is 9.1 and you can't really update the bundled version
because there is no package manager.

2 - PostgreSQL version is more up to date

3 - This app will update automatically (don't know about the bundled
postgre version)

4 - This is self-contained so it is easier to manage
