One advantage of the wireless device connection beyond having the power of calibre's UI while you are connected is that metadata is automatically updated for books in CC without needing to send the books again. Another is the sync functions. Another is the power of calibre's plugins such as reading list and smart eject.
We originally intended that the wireless device be the "go to" connection, and the content server was for occasional use. Of course we were immediately surprised that some people use only the content server. I am not sure why other than possibly having a 24/7 content server somewhere, meaning that one does not need to launch calibre or its computer.

Thanks for the clarification I had a brain spasm that refused to go away until I asked.
