Tube amp with volume control vs. with a proper pre


There are tube amps (such as the art audio) with a volume control that can be used without a pre-amp. What is the benefit of this? Is it more direct? Is a pre unnessessary?

My Raysonic 168 ($2500) has an awesome tube output with remote volume control. Good enough to retire my PS Audio GCP 200/GCPS ($3K!)
