The main difference is reverse routing.
Defining a specific route syntax for a given controller/action and
using the array method will make the correct url.
Let's say you have
`Router::connect('/catalogue/c/*', array('controller' => 'categories',
'action' => 'view'));`
`Router::connect('/catalogue/p/*', array('controller' => 'products',
'action' => 'view'));`
Then you do
`$html->link('Link', array('controller' => 'products', 'action' =>
'view', 123));`
The result will be `/catalogue/p/123`
Whereas if you do
`$html->link('Link', '/products/view/123')`
The result will be `/products/view/123`, which doesn't correspond to
your route.
