The benefit is likely limited to the fact that the
filter is reusable.

This benefit could be weighed against the neccessity
of using harsh detergents to clean it every 50-100K
miles, and re-oiling it for use again.  IMHO, I'm not
sure which is best environmentally.  The K&N is
cleanable, reusable, and comes with a cool sticker!  A
normal filter is throw-away, but cheaper by far.  The
K&N uses harsh chems to clean and re-oil, the normal
one is replaced more frequently.

Perhaps it just depends on what you like to do with
your time.  :^)
