What is the advantage of having a bread maker?

Every now and again I toy with the idea of getting a bread maker, as I am not happy with the quality of most of the bread that I can buy here.
However, as we tend to eat more rolls and flatbreads and stuff like that, would a bread maker really be of any use to me?
I make lots of my own breads at the moment, using my Kenwood mixer to do the dough and then bake in the oven.
Am I right in thinking the only advantage of getting a bread maker would be that this is done in one stage ie in the bread maker, which I could set to do at a particular time?
Otherwise, all the other stuff I want to make eg rolls, naan bread etc I'd continue to do in the way I do now?
Hmm, I think I've just answered my own question actually! But would still be interested to hear if anyone has any fabulous use or tip for a bread maker that I haven't thought of!
TIA

Don't bother. You can use it to make dough which you then shape into rolls and bake in the oven but your mixer does that fine it seems.

Pizza dough is great in the breadmaker, its rare I actually bake a loaf in it!
