Telekinetic self-levitation vs. Flight

Salutations!

Suppose a character has 20 levels of TK and Compartmentalized Mind, i.e. he can either use two pairs of invisible hands with ST 20 each with a concentrate maneuver, or one pair and take any other action he likes, e.g. Move, Attack, play chess, Carouse, etc.

He could also use one or both pairs of invisible hands to pick himself up and move up to 20 yards per second.

Aside from being able to fly while still having both pairs of invisible hands at his disposal, how would this character benefit from the Flight advantage (which would also be an application of his TK ability, just formalized as a distinct advantage)? Let's further assume the PC has Basic Speed 5, so his Air Move would be 10 instead of 20 with TK levitation.

This is not meant to be argumentative, I'm just trying to better understand the distinction between the two advantages.
