Essentially they have gotten butterfly down to the bare minimum causing it to be extremely easy to make(easier than a WCD) and just a bit heavier.
Our variant of this was trivially different (biggest difference was using 2" tall tube versus 3") and I can confirm it was easier to manufacture than our WCDs. There just aren't a lot of parts.
