Max225 Vs. Max232

I noticed that Maxim makes a RS-232 interface that has internal capacitors. I always see projects using the Max232, and adding the capacitors. Is there any benefit to going with the Max232 (other than pricing)?

Thanks,
Stephen

    I can buy a MAX232N with (4) 1 UF caps for a total of $1.05 - which is less than half the price of the capless Max chip.
