The advantage would be that you would get to have total control over your checkout experience...any other method would more than likely take users to paypal's site which is not too professional of a way to do things.
However judging from your code you have bypassed the "API" option and just used the FORM
here is the downfall..anyone that can right click and view source will see that...and security is compromized...an API is a better way to go from a security standpoint.
