Office Tools Projects vs. Standard WinApp References

What is the difference between using a Word/Excel Project via Office Tools in
Visual Studio versus using a standard WinApp Project and setting a reference
to Word or Excel?

Specifically are there any advantages / disadvantages to using one or the
other. I have always worked with Word/Excel by setting a reference in a
standard WinApp and it has worked fine.

Is there anything to be gained by using an Office Tools Project instead?

AFAIK, the Office Project type just does all the references and puts in the
default imports so that you can just start off coding.
