One of the benefits of a PRNG is reproducibility. If you are doing a monte carlo simulation, then you can get good results while still starting runs from predictable seeds. (e.g. [0,1,2,3,4,...])
This gives you both good quality random numbers during the simulation run yet lets others reproduce your results and expand with more results if required.
