What are the advantages of parallel clamps?

Right now there are a TON of parallel clamps on sale. I've searched the archives and decided that if I buy any, I'll grab at least 4 of the JETs. Probably in 24" length.

But I have plenty of F-clamps, mostly Jorgensen, in several sizes. So I keep asking myself "what would parallel clamps do for me that my F-clamps won't?"

For me, this isnt a question of "you can never have enough clamps." I never, ever run out of clamps - got plenty.

Please teach me guys. What does a parallel clamp do for me (or do better for me) than my Jorgy's? Most of what I make is small furniture - end tables, kid chairs, decorative boxes, etc.

Thanks for your help!
