I think the main advantage are the 8 outputs that DS2482-800 provide.  
However they can't run simultaneously but since Maxim doesn't produce  
1-wire hubs anymore it's the easiest way to have star topology reliable  
network. I mean a star with really long wires. I'm just speaking  
theoretically because I only have DS2480B with very mixed topology and I  
works well with ~40m of telephone wire and 15 sensors.

And GPIOs can be used for other expansion boards like the Gertboard.
