I wouldn't even say riding in a higher gear is the best benefit!
To me the best benefit is stopping the bike from losing traction, when on a steep dusty hill climb it is easy for the rear wheel to spin up and lose grip, instantly you shut the throttle or feather the clutch to find grip, but with the weight it just simply doesn't happen, it just pulls, even when revving the tits off it in first!!!
