Why pick Hairpin over Edge-coupled Bandpass Filter?

What are the pros and cons of the Hairpin topology
versus Edge-coupled, when designing a distributed
element bandpass filter?

The most obvious advantage seems to be the
smaller size of the hairpin design, which can
save board space.

But perhaps the "comebacks" (the S21 response at the
passband harmonics), are also improved in the hairpin
approach?

Thanks for any feedback.
