Sure there is. You may shut off (or otherwise configure) error reporting site-wide, or application-wide, whereas you'd use the error handler only in parts of the app/site.
No one keeps you from changing the error_reporting level at certain points in your application so I can't see you point.
But I guess we've settled for the additional parameter. So be it.
