TTL Output on CMU Board

I see here there is a TTL port right on the CMU board.

Does anyone know why we get have to convert RS232 to TTL?

I have 2 theories, can anyone back these up with some facts?

A) The cmu board speaks RS232 natively, and the onboard conversion process is slower than the other converter chip (supplied to us by IFI)

B) It costs less to get 1200 RS232->TTL converter boards than 1200 4 pin female to female cables.
