Hole tool versus extruding a remove-circle

So this may be a noobish question, but is there a difference between the hole tool and extruding a circle as a remove with a chamfer or fillet to replicate a countersunk hole? Also if one uses the hole-tool how does one tie that into the sketch to be dimensioned to structures on your sketch, whereas the extruded circle will be dimensioned. I realize that at some point they may add a fastener library to the hole tool which would make it way more useful as you could pick a pan-headed M5x10mm and have it do the right thing, but until then...

You would need to insert points into a sketch to define the hole locations when using the hole tool.
Yes, for now the hole tool is quite basic but I expect much more soon now that is going into production.

Hole tool creates also realistic bottom for hole, doing this with sketch it would need additional plane and revolve which would very time consuming if there is multiple holes in various places.
If you have many holes with same dia on different sketches it is also faster to just add points and then use hole tool to add holes for them all in one go. It does support multiple parts in one feature.
I hope we get more type of bores soon to support also wood drills.//rami5
