Some argue that the clinical efficacy of SSRI's is primarily due to 5-ht1a agonism. If this is the case, than agents more selective to this receptor could be more effective/selective.
From the profile, I would believe claims that the drug is potentially better for anxiety and/or reduced sexual dysfunction and/or insomnia.
