It has a higher tensile strength and has "five times the strength of standard hook and loop. Plus, since it adheres to its self you don't need to worry about having two different sides. It will also adhere to regular "loop" side velcro.
Personally, I would recommend against 3M Dual Lock. I was a referee at an FLL Qualifier yesterday and was not impressed with it. It was difficult to keep the Lego models on the mat as the Dual Lock was not holding very well.
