It effectively shifts the meta selection and edit entirely into dBpa rather than a mixture of dBpa and Control:PC.

Previously, Control:PC would go off and do yet another lookup even though you had groomed the data already.

Using restore rather than import by-passes the meta edit.

If you already used dBpa then the difference is not so great. If you previously ripped with Control:PC only then it is a much better workflow. The artwork and multiple source lookups are obvious improvements.
