While I am sure that there are many benefits from doing these exercises (which I understand to be the same), one of the major ones (aside from better slurs, of course) is improvement in attacks. You will play through the center of the note rather than somewhere pretty close to it. This in turn helps tuning and tone. In other words, the exercises train the lips exactly what to do to sound a specific note. This brings precision into your playing. At least, this has been my experience.
