Less windings mean less mass so low output MC's can give you a faster transient response allowing for more detail to be extracted.
I have had both HOMC's and now an LOMC. I won't go back to a HOMC again. But as others have pointed out, the phono stage is critical. It must be extremely quiet (no audible hiss) at the higher gain levels needed or you can negate the additional musical detail an LOMC brings you.
