Technically all they did in the tabbed layout was swap the old ads which hovered over the Inbox message list with embedded ads in the Promotion tab.
So the choice is between "Ads in Inbox list + Ads in message view" VS "Ads in Promotions tab + Ads in message view". There's no real difference between tabbed inbox style and the classic inbox styles except presentation if you think about it.
