One advantage is that pvmove allows you to keep the device online...  We are 
also working on a feature ATM called “duplicate”.  It allows you to create a 
duplicate of any LV stack, create the duplicate where you want, and even change 
the segment type in the process.  For example, you could move a whole RAID5 LV, 
or thin-p, in one go.
