"Yes" the use as an online checklist is nice, and "yes" now with PSA you can even add in the SGC graded cards into the checklist (but it will not affect your registry scoring).
The main reason I have the 10 PSA sets in the registry is to see how many more cards I can add to the registry that have not been noted/found/graded before. To me, I am adding to the history of that player by showing that there are many more cards out there than the typical t-series/e-series/topps etc. cards that are listed in most sets. This is what drives me to the set registry--not getting a PSA 8 over my PSA 5, but getting new cards added to the list, taking that player registry from 100 cards to 125 cards. My goal is purely set completion with whoever previously graded the card or if not graded at all.

I've used the Registries, but never for competitive purposes and have always purchased cards based on value rather than the holder. My T206 set can be seen in the PSA registry, the SGC registry and the BVG registry all under the TOBACCO ROAD name. The remainder of that set is in my Raw Meat registry.
Or you can see the whole
bastard together at Collector Focus, along with other sets in multiple holder types.
BVG as well as PSA will allow entry of slabbed and raw cards from other companies, if you want to keep your inventory in that way. I prefer to keep 17 different spreadsheets on my laptop (saved on my cloud) to record, date of purchase, price, card type, back type, grading company, grade, where I have it stashed, serial number, etc, etc, etc.
