Sure, but the difference is when the failure (e.g. slave down or network down) is resolved. If you rely on NOTIFYs then you need an external process which compares the name servers and triggers NOTIFYs for missed zones. When you use for example a DB-replication mechanism, the replication mechanism usually automatically re-syncs to the master.
