1.It's slightly faster.
2.I try to avoid taking a selection in the Finder and then acting on the
selection. Murphy's Law tells me that someone will be selecting
something else at that precise split second before the next command is
executed or will already have something else selected that's waiting to
be used in another Finder operation.
