Advantages of the first version: If you save the B-format, you can lossless 
transform the audio to binaural headphone, plain stereo, plain mono, 5.1, 7.1 
and all the other  zero or first order setups. And you can ship the B-format 
and have the listeners decode/downmix to what they want/need.

Advantages of the second version: Probably none. Apart from the sticker "mixed 
in 5.1"

Have fun,

Arnold
