SvcUtil.exe vs Add Reference

.net, c#, visual-studio-2010, wcf

Solution

Sometimes Add Service Reference in VS fails to create a useful proxy. Instead it gives you an empty Reference.cs details here and here file. I've created a series of bat files to call SvcUtil.exe to generate the proxy classes.

Problem

Why would someone use SvcUtil.exe when Add Service Reference in VS.NET provides all the proxy classes you'll need?
