Absolute noob comment. The alt. path offers more item choice (you can even see both items during the ascent), one more item if you fight the boss as The Lost, the Knife can be used as a weapon. Plus there's an insanely cool new boss. What's there not to like

Rule #3 is do not ask questions you do not wan the answers to.
Rule #2 is no not ask about the first 3 pages of the comic.
Rule #1 Do not talk about Fight Club. Play video games instead.

A bit afraid to ask the real question here, but... Why Jenny robot ? Especially with Zone ? Is this some kind of... "hidden" reference, Jo ? (Where is Filia's ref then ?)
Entering the mirror during Downpour can also get you more room drops and an extra boss item, so there's some extra loot if you can handle temporarily playing as The Lost.
One reason to choose the harder paths is the garenteed choice item room. Also, they have their own secret if you haven't discovered it yet that leads to it's own ending. Very cryptic to figure out without a guide though.
