Power consumption, resulting in a lower bill, less fans, thus less noise. Additionally the atom is the only CPU you would stick in one of those fancy superslim cases like the Silverstone LC19. The celeron alone smokes as much power as the whole ion system.
My 2 cents

ION is based on MCP - so it has FULL acceleration for all three codecs.
