How is vermicomposting any better than just having a compost bin with worms in it?

I have been entertaining the idea of doing the red worm composting thing then got to thinking that I already have a compost bin with worms in it. How is it different in terms of benefits?

if you have a contained vericompost, you get to use the ‘tea’ and the castings where and how you wish… and you could even give or sell some….. in your compost pile, you get the same, but you can’t separate it out…..

it’s also not got to be so big…… a good compost pile needs to be about three ft square…. a goodly vermi- can be in a rubbermaid box that fits about anywhere!….
