It is better because you are using IPv6, gaining experience with IPv6,
and enabling your internal network to grow (add devices) without using
any more IPv4 addresses. Many companies are facing exhaustion of the RFC
1918 space as well so transitioning to IPv6 is motivated by more than
one exhaustion event.
