DiffPatch question

[Richard Gaskin]

Consider this scenario:

I'm writing text A, and another team member has revised it in text B.

I can get a list of changes from A to B with DiffCompare.  Cool.

Then with DiffPatch I can apply that diff listing to A to make it like 
the revised B.

What is the advantage of using DiffPatch over simply using the full text 
of B?
