Found this on a disston website “The breasting effect is quite obvious on a one- or two-man crosscut saw for felling trees. On a hand saw it is much less, the blade is wider by about the height of saw tooth in the center of the blade. Backsaws never were breasted.”
I would not consider it a significant advantage unless you really wanted to say you owned one or had opportunity to get at a good price.
