OSPF Point-Point vs Broadcast Network Type (Advantages)

Hi all,

 

What would be a major advantage of using p2p network type over broadcast network type.

from what I can see, as far as convergence goes they have

1. the same hello and dead timers

2. They both send multicast packet regardless to 224.0.0.5 (for ospf neighs discovery)

I guess my point is, why would I want to use or choose p2p over bcast?
