Not having to fiddle with it during processing is a huge functional advantage in my book.
I know since it's captured in RAW the WB is not locked in, but it still shows up in the RAW converter at the setting I shot it. I could change it if I liked. But I really prefer to spend as little time as possible playing with my pictures in the computer. Also the colors of the photos I shot with the custom WB are "right" to me. I did not have to adjust the color at all. I adjusted the exposure and contrast in iPhoto but that was it. The photos that I did not set my WB required a lot of tweaking and I still don't like the way they look.
