If you go to a full coil over, you have the option of moving the lower mount much closer to the lower ball joint. This in turn allows you to run a much lighter lower arm and softer spring rate. Also, the entire package is a little lighter, if for no other reason than the smaller spring.
I'm glad someone brought up the point about needing to move the shock if you go to the stock car weight jack. Where would you put the shock at that point? You're in the same boat as the air bag guys...
