I've always heard & assumed that this was the primary benefit. >They take longer to string-up in the first place, I agree with Mike on this one. Although the occasional single-tie string on other pianos is just as annoying when it breaks! :-) I've restrung one Bose since I've been here at UH but I was lucky enough to find out that I could order them "pre-looped". It was just like putting on a bass string. Unfortunately, they didn't have any available at the time in this country so Roger (wasn't it?) had to order them. The shipping costs from Vienna were much more than the actual cost of the wire, but at the time, we had the money available & it was VERY much worth it to me! Avery >and "may" be more tuning stable.
