I don't know, in the book it says these are more challenging with the barbell and I definitely am feeling it today, but the barbell seemed to help me balance for sure. Now, I don't know if that will be the case when I add more weight. I'll just have to wait and see.
I'm glad you have the same question about it, as I did. I have been thinking about why these were better for me and couldn't quite put my finger on it.
