The most obvious one is that advisory lanes can be full of parked cars. 
  Theoretically, at least, there could also be moving cars in them.  A 
mandatory lane should only contain cycles, so should be a much better 
option.

(I think it is fairly well known that mandatory lanes require traffic 
regulations orders, with associated public consultations, so advisory 
ones are used, as a sop to cyclists, without any real costs except those 
of the paint for the lines, and for the signs.)
