The biggest win is that photogrammetry – at least the way PLE is doing it – captures 3D geo at one instant in time. With laser scanners or structured light systems you have to get your subject to hold still, sometimes for a few seconds. That can be hard for actors, especially children.
The speed of data acquisition means you can grab a lot more scans in a single session, and it makes scanning facial poses a whole lot easier and higher-quality.
I’d also add that the data was clean, organized and consistently high-quality.
