The main difference is reverse routing.
Defining a specific route syntax for a given controller/action and
using the array method will make the correct url.
Let's say you have
`Router::connect('/catalogue/c/*', array('controller' = 'categories',
'action' = 'view'));`
`Router::connect('/catalogue/p/*', array('controller' = 'products',
'action' = 'view'));`
Then you do
`$html-link('Link', array('controller' = 'products', 'action' =
'view', 123));`
The result will be `/catalogue/p/123`
Whereas if you do
`$html-link('Link', '/products/view/123')`
The result will be `/products/view/123`, which doesn't correspond to
your route.

Are there any benefits, or behind the scenes magic for doing this:
$html-link('Link', array('controller' = 'users', 'action' =
'login', 'var'));
Compared to:
$html-link('Link', '/users/login/var/');
This also applies to anywhere else you build urls.
