There's really no advantages other than some small palette adjustments and the inclusion of some small gameplay enhancements. I don't believe its possible to adjust any specific hardware features. The game is still very much running in Game Boy Color mode.

Example with different palette - maybe it's because GBA has different screen and these colors is more comfortable on it? But maybe some manipulation with registers can give more RAM, colors/sprites or another frequency etc.?
