It's about getting good (to me) dmax... Traditional formula simply
doesn't give me the dmax I need with just one coat, even exposing
without a negative - cutting the exposure just before solarization
becomes an issue (have tested this).
If you mean you can get both a constant dmax and paper white with
negatives of different density ranges then that's very good - only for
in-camera negative users though...

You can get just as good a range of tone, without double coating, with
the original inexpensive and easy cynotype if you get your negative
right and your print exposure right, (the colour of the traditional
process tends to depend upon the water you use to make it).
It's a bit like silver gelatine printing really.
The point about the cyanotype rex is that you can obtain a similar range
of tone in the print but with negatives of different density ranges.
