One major difference: with that rsync method, you do not store compressed snapshots, you store the files as they are, in order for the hard links to
work properly.

The above, of course, is not an issue if you have all the space you need
or you are just backing up a couple of servers.

Correct, and that's why you need to have one of those 1TB external drives (www.lacie.com) with a firewire 800 interface. I had never imagined doing FULL daily system backups on 15 production servers in under 2 hours.
