The main benefit of the cradle is that it is simple to charge and dock. Just pop it in, and no cables to mess with. You do have to seat it down a bit, but no big deal. I place it in and then tap/rock it down gently. I like not having to use the cables and sockets.
But other than that, there's no real need for it. Some people prefer the cables to the dock, so I think it's personal preference. For me it just seems slick and easy to dock. And that halo light is kinda cool! ;-)
