Subject: Why using Zobrist keys for Pawn Hasing?

About the pawn hash key discussions: Why using Zobrist keys for pawn hashing at
all, at least in BitBoard programs? Isn't it smarter to use a unique 46 Bit
(Rank2-7) Difference of two colored Pawn-BitBoards instead of zobrist keys for
pawns? No key collisions and key and index (key mod nEntries) calculation on the
fly.
