There is less torque on the mounting bolt, so it's less likely to come loose due to vibrations. (A "standing" light always wants to rotate downward.) The hanging Edelux also makes sense when you mount your light under the handlebars – less obtrusive than on top of the bars...
Above is the hanging Edelux on my randonneur bike. I modified the attachment so it is forked. This allows me to adjust the angle of the light while riding (higher when out of town to see even when going into a dip in the road, lower in town to avoid blinding oncoming traffic), without the bolt loosening. Once the hanging Edelux II will become available, I'll probably run the lighting wire through the tube that supports the light – there is less risk of snagging it that way, and it doesn't look nice exposed as it currently is.
