What's the value of this PE part vs the plastic?

What

I'm in the process of building the Dragon 1/72 Jagdpanzer IV L/48. Now this kit comes with some later addition to the box, being these PE side armour plates. However, I'm quite at a loss as to why. The way I see it, the PE parts look exactly the same as the plastic, so there's no advantage in details. In which case I'm inclined to feel the plastic will be easier to work with. I'm probably missing something here, but maybe someone can provide enlightenment?
