Merkle Tree vs Replication Log / Event Log

I understand that Merkle Trees can be used to replicate data and guarantee integrity of the data in byzantine environment (where you don't trust all the parties) and that systems like cansandra use it to repair a node without having to download the entire dataset like a traditional mysql replication.

Is there an advantage to use a Merkle tree instead of a traditional replication log if you trust the other parties and corruption (read the size of the data) is not a concern?
