V6 adapter vs Prusa nozzle

Are there any advantages to using the Prusa nozzle vs using the V6 adapter?

Some more thoughts:  Two obvious differences:  You can buy V6 nozzles cheaply and in many different configurations.  One downside to using the V6 adapter appears to be: that when you change a nozzle, you need to do a "hot" torque of the V6 nozzle.  It appears that the Prusa nozzle does not need any hot torque step.

RE: V6 adapter vs Prusa nozzle

I purchased and extra heater block, thermistor and heater for this. And honestly, it's nothing like changing a normal v6 MK3 where the heat break can turn, but I want a no time to heat swap between .4 and .25.  I might switch the .25 out for a .6 as I still prefer my MK3S+ for miniature .25 printing.
