One obvious benefit seems to be the low level access you gain from using OpenSSL. But, I’d like to know if there’s anything (important) that you can do with OpenSSL and not otherwise.

I checked this again and the only benefit of OpenSSL seems to be it’s range of cipher suites supported. Also, OpenSSL gives you a much granular control of the entire process, but this may be superfluous for most applications.
