Sometimes the 1st person narrative is a great way to get across a character's unique perspective on a moment, so the reader will fully understand it. The storyteller's voice, style of speaking and use of idioms (that are usually not permitted in 3rdP omniscient) provide a color that no other medium can match.
That's not always good for the story, but when it is, it can transform a dry tale into a page-turner, and make your characters really come alive. It helped me with a character that was not really that likable, to present him from a more sympathetic point of view, and in that case, it helped the story along.
