The major difference is that you don't rely on 1/2" hex bearings, which have had defects and gone out of stock in the past. Of course, it depends on you being able to broach 7/16" hex and have access to a active tooling lathe to make your wheel shafts.

Like I said before, the benefits of plain ol' 1/2" hex outweigh the advantages of 7/16 hex in the wheels (at least for me).
