Really good thread. I like all of the reasons, but this simple concept does it for me. You can really comp chords more easily and satisfactorily with the low C string available. I just started playing the 5 string, ordered the J Bovier solid body on faith that I would be able to play it. I picked it up and it was like I had been playing 5 strings all my life. Very intuitive. I am really excited about exploring the possibilites. There is that extra room for riffs and solos, too.
