Default Low-voltage recessed lights - what are the advantages?

Hi,

I can't quite figure out the advantage of low-voltage recessed
lighting over the line voltage variety. I *have* noticed that they are
more expensive and that dimmers for them are much more expensive. But
what the advantages to consider?

Thanks!

Voltage kills bulbs. I would expect that they would last longer. Barring
that they should be cheaper to make for lasting the same length of time.
They should produce less heat and can be put into smaller packages. But
for a recessed light I can't see the benefit.
