1.25" 32mm Erfle vs. Plossl

I noticed a 1.25" 32mm Erfle in the eyepiece ads. It is my understanding that a 32mm Plossl shows almost the entire FOV that can be seen with a 1.25" eyepiece due to its physical constraints. So, is there any other advantage with the Erfle?

I have one of those, looks cool with a 1982 Celestron C80.

No practical advantage vs a plossl, or 32 Konig II. For best performance, stick with the plossls.
