Leavening for fewer hours gives a different kind of structure the the bread. Shorter leavening: smaller bubbles, more soft texture. Longer leavening: bigger bubbles, more chewy texture. Longer leavening also gives it a more yeasty flavour. I think the shorter leavened bread goes well with jam and the longer leavened bread goes well with savoury toppings.
