The car will always make use of regen in preference to brake pads when you touch the brake pedal - but it can only apply the B5 level of braking on regen alone. I don't think the paddles do anything that you cannot do with the pedal, but by separating the regen function from the friction function, they allow you to avoid applying friction braking without realising it.
I think, that is the major point for me as well when deciding to use B5 all the time.
If I had a control lamp telling me when the friction brakes hit in, I would be able to avoid it "by foot".
But I don't have it, so, in city traffic the B5 does the trick in most cases. On the highway the CC.
I am also a lazy guy (at least my wife claims so) and I avoid moving my foot to the brake pedal
without reason as much as possible.
