Always liked it on difficult weather/wind days. As commander you can be P1/PM (with capacity to mange the big picture) during the approach and yet still take it for the landing.
Also facilitates a good brief. As P1 you’re briefing (before descent) the P2/PF (for the approach) on how you’d like them to fly the approach you’ll subsequently land. Very interactive. Easier to monitor the execution of a plan you’ve conceived and briefed.
