The big advantage is about isolating your test from production. Unless you are doing very strict access lists in the LPAR profile, your 2nd LPAR will have access to the same volumes are the primary VM system. If you miss one of the changes in your system configuration file or make another mistake, you may crash your primary VM system. For most things, the class G virtual machine isolates you from the real stuff and is a safe place to try things. And there's no risk you pick the wrong LPAR on the HMC or so.
