Besides the remote tuner, one big reason is because you already have the 
external tuner.

Another is if you want to feed a balanced line and don't want to deal with 
the balun problems that can happen if the load Z is very high, very low and/or 
very reactive.

One of the great things about Elecraft rigs is that you can add or remove the 
ATU at any time.
