You get double the beer at effectively the same amount of work. You can also experiment a bit w/ it and try different yeasts on different fermenters if you want. Ultimately, I've found that it is no different in time to brew 10 gallons vs 5 and means in the end less work!
This is exactly why I switched to keggle brewing. I brewed up 10 gallons of a stout, and split them 5 and 5 with two different yeasts. I hope to broaden my knowledge and perception of different yeasts this way by doing side by side comparisons.
Also, I found that I was kicking kegs way to quick, only to have to spend another day on another 5 gallon batch.
