I would not say advantages, as they have very different aims, bluetoothctl is
meant to be used in the day-to-day (think scanning for a device, pairing
with it, changing the discoverability, etc); hciconfig/hcitool are more for
development/debugging (think disabling SSP mode, enabling periodic inquiry,
etc), they are more similar to btmgmt than to bluetoothctl.

btmon also tracks events from the Management interface. And colors ;-)
