Baudot sounds better (my #1 reason).
You can run a BIG amp if you want and not wipe out the whole band (although you can also run a BIG
amp AND wipe out the whole band if you aren't set right).
Better throughput when there are two more signals at the same time (better for contesting, DX'ing simplex).

There's lots of great reasons for operating PSK31.  It's a fun mode but
I have to turn the sound off.  I'm afraid I'll always be a RTTY man.
