Advantages of SPC?

I know that the differences are probably insignificant, but what are the differences between using SPC and " " within TorqueScript?
For example, are there any differences at all between:
echo("hi" SPC %name);
and
echo("hi " %name);

That does make sense, so they are two different things. Thanks!

echo("hi " @ %name);
using the @ to concatenate the strings. In the case of strings where you can type in the space, it may be shorter to use the @.
If you are concatenating several variables and needed spaces then you would have
echo(x @ " " @ y @ " " @ z);
or
echo(x SPC y SPC z);
The second one is shorter and appears cleaner.

echo(x SPC y SPC z);
