Coffin Vs Remote reservoir

Apart from looking more 'Trick', is there any real benefit or advantage in using the later style Brembo remote reservoir front brake and clutch master cylinders instead of the older Brembo Coffin type ones?

My old M900 had the Black Coffin ones, but my M1000Ds has the Bright Gold Remote reservoir ones with their untidy sticky up brackets and pots.

I actually much prefer the more streamlined and tidy look of the Old Coffin ones on an older unfaired bike, and they'd make my M1000 look even more like my old M900.
I also happen to have a pair of them that I could fit.

The M1000 does of course have the later 65mm mounting hole Brembo Calipers instead of the earlier 40mm ones, but I think the piston sizes are the same.

Thanks

Nasher.
