Tom and I, trying to decide what to have for dinner.
Me: Well I know I'm making brussel sprouts.
Tom: Would you like pork chops or steak with them.
Me: Steak. I just, I don't like your pork chops. I don't understand them. You can either buy a butterfly pork chop, a full slab of meat, or you can buy one with a bone and connective tissue in the middle of it. Why would you get that kind?
Tom: Price. When you buy the butterfly chop, you're paying around $3.50 a pound. When you get the regular pork chops you only pay $2.50 a pound.
Me: But you're paying for the bone! And steak is my other option? Is steak cheaper than butterfly pork chops?
Tom: Well, no.
Me: Then I guess you just lost the "We can't afford butterfly pork chops" argument.

I think it has more flavor on the bone and is juicier. That being said, I usually buy off the bone because of convenience. Also, it seems silly to pay per pound for bone.
