  • full customisation of 24 different font sizes, 9 different left/right page margins (incl none), 9 different line spacing values
It is true that kepubs have a few extra features that standard epubs don't, such as various reading metrics, support for right-to-left languages (and some vertical, I think) and some image zooming. Personally, I prefer to stick to standard epubs.

Of course, as with all hacks, every new firmware version poses the challenge of whether the old hacks can rise like a phoenix from the flames. I'm keeping my fingers crossed
Last I looked a couple of weeks ago, the Aura was not yet hacked to be able to adjust sideloaded fonts or adjust the header/footer. That being said, the work those individuals have done some great work.
