In a single word,
feedback. The iRig Acoustic Stage is very feedback prone, even with the automatic feedback filters engaged. Using ToneDexter to get that iAS mic sound gives you the same advantage as using ToneDexter to get any other mic's sound - a signal that's less feedback prone than a mic signal.
The iAS is also built rather delicately and its somewhat unwieldy to use, especially if you're blending in another pickup (several cables flopping around and getting tangled with each other). I liked blending in a UST with the iAS, but its easier to send two cables (UST & Lyric) to an outboard blender than to deal with three cables plugged into a little box hanging off my guitar strap.
