What is the benefit of this tuning?
Lots of cool chord voicings. The low two strings are a fifth apart, so it's a little like a drop tuning. But then with the low G and the doubled high B, you can do loads of cool drones, while using the familiar DGB from standard to do inverted chords.
Also, it's pretty easy to detune to from standard!
