The advantage is lower distortion just as you have with a BG Neo driver when loaded in its cup to create an air spring behind it. The voice coil with spider in a tight magnetic gap has fewer membrane effects and more damping. The downside is that the overall structure may turn out heavier than a plain planar or ribbon. You can see ribbon driver distortion rises with freq. Maggie ribbons have the little dots or flat elastomer segment suspensions to reduce twisting distortion, which is where I guess the bulk of distortion in a ribbon comes from, the rest from varied cavity issues.
Zaph has a collection of ribbon tweeter measurements as well as some speaker parts suppliers.
