Well, others have highlighted the WiFi aspect, but let me just amplify that a little and add one other comment:
On the WiFi, the benefit is not just that there's no data cable needed, but that the console can be placed anywhere that your WiFi network offers a reasonable signal. So, the console and computing device can potentially be placed in completely different parts of the house, office building etc. The nearest analogy is with the Davis IP logger rather than the USB logger, which is obviously a rather different price proposition. And remember that the WiFi logger also offers other built-in features such as the ability to upload directly to a range of weather networks, including WU, CWOP, WOW, weatherlink.com (provided Davis don't somehow block this feature) etc. I appreciate that weewx users may not find this feature so useful (ie where it's simply duplicating what weewx can already do), but it it is potentially very useful to other users. And there are other WFL features too such as a real-time data screen that can be picked up direct from WiFi on any smartphone, tablet etc and with other new features to come.
