Anyone out there used a role over type box blade (i.e. RO 720)? Any advantages over a standard box blade?

The rollovers I've seen are HEAVY units which generally take more HP to use correctly. I haven't used them, my buddy has one, but I can't see using one only because I've had good luck with a standard. To get the contents to fall out (I have a hydrostat) I simply come to a hard stop if the soil is sticky, so no need to "dump" it. The RO's I've seen don't have a rear-facing blade which makes backdragging harder. I have a hydraulic top link which really adds to the versatility of the box scraper or any other implement. ....
