Hello!
Lots of helpful uses.
If you're learning what button is what control, selecting a control
shows you where the button is.
If you select multiple buttons, you can see exactly what you have
selected in a comprehensive way.
If you select all, or a set, you can see if something is missing in the
picker, because buttons won't be highlighted.
Since the buttons highlight gray if the associated buttons are partly,
but not all selected, if you are missing any buttons, it's really easy
to tell.
In Maya, when you select multiple objects, you have no idea what you now
have selected because it grabs the whole heirarchies. You're almost
completely lost. The Picker actually helps you see what you have
selected in Maya.
Some buttons select multiple objects -- wouldn't it be great to know
exactly what it just selected?
With the Synoptic, you can select a button, but you may forget what
button you hit. Having it stay linked to the selection is quite a bit
more orienting.
If you drag a rectangle, you can see what buttons are being selected as
you go.
Basically, once you use this workflow, it's really hard to go back!
Strangely, in Maya, the birectional highlighting is not slow.
I will probably make a quick demonstration so you can see the workflow
and the benefits.
Thanks!

i dont see an advantage to the bi-directionality feature, anyone care
to give me a good example?

The bi-directional is the only one I always find tricky... that
mean you have to create an event in Softimage I guess...
the rest looks totally doable with PyQt
