I guess the real advantage with the creases is with the new adaptative tesselation, so it adds geometry where it needed, sometimes with creases you have to get your subdivision level quite high because it's uniform to have decent creasing, with adaptative it would only add geometry where it's needed to maintain the limit of the surface.
