What is the benefit for this?
You're asking the benefit of a higher rate (stiffer) front sway bar?

(1) Stiffer: Will increase overall car stability (reduces roll) and shift the car’s balance toward UNDERsteer (push), thus allowing the driver to be more aggressive with the steering. The compromise can be on bumps and/or braking. A stiffer front bar will reduce compliance, so when one tire hits a bump the entire front axle will be affected through a loss of overall grip.

(2) Softer: Allows more roll and will shift the cars balance toward OVERsteer (or less UNDERsteer.) And the front will improve in compliance, which improves performance in brake zones and over bumps.
 
So a softer improves ride but isnt as good around corners.
It depends if you suffer from excessive roll and oversteer.

"Stiffer" and "softer" aren't unlimited. There is such thing as too stiff and too soft. Sway bars been to be selected and tuned for a specific application. A stiffer bar is not nessacerily an upgrade or a downgrade for every car. You'll just have to do your homework to determine if your specific application can take advantage of a stiffer rear sway bar.
