Well that is only really half a reason, since a live cd will likely only have one DE. But one cd intalltion is the only real benefit i can think of so far.
I use the LiveImage on my USB Key to run Linux anywhere. Next development cycle where we really try to nail down persistence and encryption I could potentially have a well working Live image with my home directory and all my applications set up on my USB key, negating the need to travel with a clunky laptop. To walk into a room of doubters, borrow one of their windows laptops/workstations/whatever, boot from my USB and have my working Fedora desktop right there is a pretty compelling sight, especially if I can add packages, update, show that things like suspend/resume work on their hardware, etc...
