Advantages of 20mm through-axle over classic QR type?Hogmeister

Hi.
What are the benefits of 20mm through-axle wheels & hubs on 20mm forks (Marzocchi QR20 Pro) ?
How much better is that combo compared to classic one?

By putting the 20mm through-axel on you will gain stiffnes tortianlly (maybe not the correct word). This means that your wheel should go where you point the fork. As far as how much better, i have no idea.
You way want to ask this question on the DH/FR forum many people use the 20mm axles there.
