There are other advantages. Less cone excursion is a big one, but how about less thermal energy in the voice coil, reduced rear-wave in the enclosure (horns are loud at the 'mouth'), less back-EMF to the amp and much less amp power needed -no more complex circuits.Plus controlled radiation -fewer problems with wall reflections.
A compression-horn is better than most people think.
