Benefit/reasons is multi-faceted:
Not all component tweeters fit in the OEM 1" dash location. In this case, you'd lose the 3.5" location to install a tweeter. a 3.5" would fit up there, however.
A 3.5" speaker puts slightly more sound up high(er) and in front of you in terms of true midrange, and would allow the woofer to function as a true woofer or midbass.
Your available midrange/midbass/woofer options seem to be very good, and the costs are reasonable if you don't pay for the passive crossovers. If you use component midrange/mdbass/woofers and buy good 3.5" speakers, you pay about what you pay for a modest component set but get (in theory) better sound, particularly when you use an active anplifier setup.
Negatives: Like you said, setup would or could be a PITA.
