Makes Voice VLAN assignment much easier for sure.

I work with customers that have mixed environments for access level
switches (Cisco, Linksys, Extreme, Juniper, etc) and prefer to use
LLDP when the phones support it.  It makes sense if you are in an all
Cisco environment to use CDP.

I would rate LLDP as a very useful vendor-agnostic protocol.
