The difference is that when you're shooting lum, you're getting light from red, green and blue all at the same time, so you're getting better SNR, thus showing up fainter stuff more quickly and cleaning up the noise more quickly.

I combine my RGB with my L, since they're all shot using 1x1 binning; basically throwing away data if you don't.
