I wouldn't mind trying to duplicate Sadu from Azim Steppe, but not if I had to start over from nothing.
the advantages are extremely few; most notably you can duplicate your tomestone earnings for crafting materials to sell over at MB as well as get current BiS with various roles if you even care about the min-maxing in the short amount of time where its actually relevant.

Otherwise its just purely for RP purposes and helps with not falling into the fantasia addict trap if you have multiple alts that fulfill those needs.
