Default Thunderbolt via HD Native box vs. Strictly Thunderbolt

Curious question comes to mind now that I'm starting to see interfaces with a combination of Thunderbolt and Digilink I/O

I can hook a Focusrite Red Pre8 to my Mac via Thunderbolt and work in PTHD or PT Vanilla just the same. The same hardware unit offers digilink connectivity. To use this I'm going to need to get my hands on a HD native box ($700 after market?) to ultimately go to Thunderbolt and connect my Darth Trashcan Mac Pro.

The point of my observation is the question, what can be gained by not going Thunderbolt the whole way and using Avid's Digilink and Native I/O box instead?
