Subject: variable piece values?

Author: David Dahlem

I'm having a discussion with a friend about variable piece values in a chess
engine. Here is my question:

Is there any advantage, in terms of speed or flexibility, of using variable
piece values instead of adding a bonus/penalty for the various evaluation
factors such as location, mobility, threats, outposts, etc.? Are both methods
the same?

Regards
Dave
