directing output in crontab

[Wade Preston Shearer]

In my cron tab, I was using &> to direct output to /dev/null. I want to make sure I understand the synxtax. I was told that 1> and 2> could be used to redirect more specifically; 1> being the output and 2> being errors. Is that correct? Does &> catch both?, so the only reason to use 1> and 2> would be if I want the two types to go to two different log files?
