It mainly just takes the advantage of opening book away and shows how well you play without long strings of memorized lines.

That pawn structure part I am no longer sure about though. I have seen like 5% of the starting positions which is poor sampling, but that just means there are positions out there which favor different themes. My first paragraph still holds, though. The one you enjoy the more, the one you should play the more.
