To me, when using a blank line between the paragraphs it is essential to put a visual marker like the above (I normally center it with a blank line before and after it) to clearly indicate a section break or scene change. That eliminates possible ambiguity by clearly indicating where the scene breaks/section breaks fall, even at the top/bottom of a page. For this reason I think it would also be an advantage when formatting using indenting and no spaces between the paragraphs for the same reason.
