If you ask about benefits, the one with knob will allow you to focus manually at the expense of having that knob by the front glass:

If you think you will want to focus manually (low light situations...) etc... go for it...
I preferred the one without the focus knob.
The 60 mm AF is pretty good, I didn't missed a shot till now because of it.
The port with the focus knob is also a little longer, its mean you'll have to be even closer to the subject to get 1:1 ratio, even with the shorter I almost touch the subject sometimes.
