Consistency in coating thickness if you are used to spraying. Smoother
texture, and best of all NO FIBERS when the applicator starts to come
apart.

Build coats will be smoother with spraying as you will not be building
on top of applicator strokes.

If you cannot spray, get yourself disposable short nap applicators.
These work very well inside. Make sure you orient the nap to pull the
finish rather than push it. Buy several and throw them away after each
coat. If you use these applicators thin your poly a little to help
application.
