The benefit is you can decide the distance between the two pockets but takes a bit more time to attach the clamp again.
The key is using the right pocket screw length and distance from edge. Joint is not super strong. You may need to use wood glue as backup.
Also note that Kreg is a company that appears to keep tight control of their distribution channels, and pricing.
A lot of Kreg stuff, including this jig, is excluded from promos and coupons at places like Woodcraft (I've tried), and when discounts appear, they come only when Kreg permits, or coincides with when Kreg holds a sale of its own, like now.
Additionally, Amazon doesn't sell Kreg products directly (don't know if it ever did), nor has Kreg established a Kreg Amazon store of its own, so all of the listings are by default from various third-party sellers.
That adds up to a company that keeps firm control on MAP, and selectively chooses where its products are sold, mostly the big box home improvement chains, and smaller tool/carpentry stores, and the online presence they provide, supplemented by its own online storefront.
Pattern [pattern.com], the seller in this listing, appears to have an actual physical presence (not somebody's garage, or spare bedroom), and at least manages to present an image of itself as a legitimate reseller and marketing company, albeit mostly of pills and pet food.
The question then becomes whether Pattern is selling Kreg's products in an psuedo-official capacity, with only unofficial tacit approval, or on its own initiative, and sourcing them from a middleman distributor, or worst case, a counterfeiter? Given that Pattern's pricing falls in line with Kreg's own pricing, and doesn't undercut it, or violate MAP, does suggest more of a blessed arrangement than not.
Something to ponder, but probably not obsess over for most people.
I've had my eye on a pocket-hole jig for months, with Kreg as the first preference, but have been reluctant to pay MSRP, holding out for a deal that never appeared, until a bundle like this became available again, so it was time to strike, and take a bit of a risk. Wouldn't do it with a more expensive tool, or from someone other than Amazon, but this is probably OK.
There has been better deals, but on older or discontinued models. The 320 is relatively new, so it won't see that treatment for a while.

I actually got this exact one a few days ago and works just fine. Never used the actual Kreg jig before but it's essentially the same thing from what I can tell. piece of angled plastic, clamp, and drill bit
Comes boxed in "Special Offer" packaging, so it's a factory-assembled bundle, not akin to a "dealer-installed" accessory package that the seller put together themselves.
Not sure the clamp is commensurate with the $20-30 price asked for it alone, but it's nice to have, sweetens the deal, and saves a trip to HF for the locking clamps I was planning to use as a substitute.
